Keith David Patten

Few people know that Keith was quite a Childish cook honing his not inappreciable culinary skills by reproducing and adapting dishes from Julia Child's recipes. His venue, a private table for four set in a
wooded area, provided the atmosphere for spirited conversation; the stage for solving all the world's problems over a good bottle of fine wine; and of course an I-Pad as the final arbitrator of friendly disputes and memory gaps.

Can't let the opportunity pass to honor his bookbinding and book conservation efforts.....the decline the popularity of books and bookstores was not for lack of Keith's efforts with his bookstore and restoration work--and his lifelong appreciation of literature and the arts. And always, with an appropriate musical background for that tutored ear.

In appreciation for a long and productive friendship and with condolences to the family for their untimely loss,

Jeanne Jarvis
