Keith was a guy that gave so much to the town he loved and the country he served. Always willing to help. He got his inspiration from his father Frank who was a boy scout leader for many years. From young on Keith was their for Northampton. Rest in peace and eternal memory

My condolences to the Piescienski family. Kieth was a wonderful person who took many young firefighters under his wing and taught them how to pump a truck in the simplist way. He will be sorely missed but not forgotten. RIP my friend we got it from here.
