Keith became involved with red raider footballa number of years ago as a volunteer strength coach. He was dedicated To mu players and quickly became part of our red raider family . He became a good friend and was on our sideline for many of our games I coached. I lost close contact with Keith when I retired and was saddened to hear of his recent problems But I will remember Keith as a part of red raider football and a person I liked very much.
