Robin,
Please accept my deepest sympathies in your and the Lufkin community's loss. Although Keith and I have not crossed paths since the early to mid 80's when we played baseball on the Brewers and golfed together from time to time, it all seems like yesterday. He and I also played little league baseball together and I always admired his keen, competitive spirit yet humble and warm disposition, both on and off the field.
My thoughts are with you and your sons...

Allen Family,
Keith was my little dribblers basketball coach, (the HAWKS) for two years 78-80.
He also played ball for my dad (ronnie pat durham) at hudson high school. Keith was a great guy as well as a great coach. My prayers are with you.

Robin, my family notified me of Keith's passing. Keith was a childhood friend of my older brother, so I have known him since I was a little girl. He was a really special man and I know he touched a lot of people. You and your boys are in my thoughts.

I went to school with Keith and graduated with him in 78, I have not seen Keith in many years and was so saddened to read that he had passed away. I remember that Keith was always smiling, always silly, always a friend, so I can only imagine what a wonderful Man he became, we were all friends during our school years and it is so sad to hear that "one of us" is gone. I am so sorry for your loss and hope your wondeful memories will comfort you in all your darkest hours. Shelly

I was deeply saddened when I heard of Keith's passing. I worked in engineering at the ACG-York plant and had the pleasure of working with Keith on several press projects - via the telephone. I could always hear his smile over the phone especially when it came to his boys and his teams. We shared plenty of hunting stories too! May you find strength and peace in our Lord during your time of grief knowing that the best is yet to come!

To Keith's loving family...What a wonderful man this guy was!! There was never a question about how he felt about you Robin and his boys. He loved you guys very much and he always made that known. As he said in my last conversation with him "I don't know where I would be right now if it weren't for Robin and my boys" "they are my whole life" Keep your heads held high with your eyes on the "son" and he will provide the strength you will need in the days ahead! Russell, Zach and Mark, Surround yourself with friends and family and celebrate the life of your Dad. His great smile and encouraging words to me and my kids during the loss of Pete will forever be cherished.

Robin,
Keith and I went to high school together and though we have had very little contact since, whenever we would meet, he would always be so interested in the happenings of my family. The picture in the paper reminded me of how Keith always had a smile on his face because he always had something going on. Like the time that he wore his cap, sunglasses, and trenchcoat backwards to make the teacher think he was facing the front while he talked to the person behind him. I pray that God will bless you and the rest of the family with unmeasured grace at this sad time in your lives.
