Saddened to learn of Keith's passing as I knew him and his brother Dick while we were fraternity brothers at Central Missouri State. Dick and I were pledge brothers and both of them were truly great friends. May they Rest In Peace in Chapter Eternal. YITB

My condolences to all of you who loved Keith. He was a great guy with a lot of problems. I have many fond memories of Keith over the years, and hope he is in a better place now. I am betting Dick greeted him with a racing form in one hand and a beer in the other when he arrived in Heaven. God Bless you, Keith.
