We am very saddened to hear of Keith's passing and express our sympathy to the family. Keith and I lived next door to each other in St. Anthony and we spent some time together growning up. We also note his success in life with his family and accomplishments within the church.

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Keith. I had the pleasure of working with him as his secretary for about 3 years and I found him to be an absolutely wonderful boss! Sure missed him when he retired from Honeywell. My prayers to the family and with deepest sympathy on your loss.

Dear Joan,

You and Keith have done so much for us. We were newly called to be the FHC co-directors at Mt. Franklin Stake in El Paso and you came to our rescue. You and Keith did a wonderful presentation for us to get us started. We'll always remember the kindness and time you had for us. Our best regards to you during this time of sadness and loss.

As directors of our Tri-Stake Family History Center for several years, we came to depend on "The Brownings" for staff development. His enthusiasm for the work will always be remembered in this valley. He definitely "Made a Difference" to our Family History Center.

We were so sad to hear about Keith's passing. Although Pam & I did not meet him in person, we received great guidance from him at our Family HIstory Center here in Tucson. May the Lord bless and comfort you at this time. The Gospel is surely a great comfort, also.
