Eileen, my deepest sympathies to you and your sons and their families, as well as Uncle George. It's been a long time since I've seen Keith, but remember him as having a great smile and laugh, kind, fun, and looking a lot like my father, Fred. Condolences to you all, as it is traumatic to loose loved ones, no matter when they pass. Love you. Pamela Thompson

Eileen, words just can't say how much you and Uncle Keith mean to me. He was so fun and you took such good care of him. I am so glad you are by your family. Remember the good times and they will get you by. Know that many, many people care and we appreciate your children for being there with you and with him. I love you. Gail

I would like to send my love and hugs and kisses to my father, Bob Bixler, my grandma steel and Uncle Lu. We all loved grandpa and he will be missed (but I don't think his cane poking will be).

I remember Uncle Keith when I was younger but I hadn't seen him since the family reunion in about 1982. I wish I would have visited him while they lived in Arizona. I know he is happy to see his mother and father and brothers and sisters again. My condolences to Aunt Eileen and to Uncle George.

My deepest sympathy to Eileen and also Keith's brother George.
I remember Uncle Keith coming to our home on occasion when I was a young girl, my father (KAY) is probably welcoming him 'home' now. He came from a good family and is probably enjoying a great reunion with them.
