I just saw Keith's obituary while searching his Facebook page in an effort to contact Julie about my husband Azuka's recent death. It was a sad shock. I met Keith soon after he married my childhood friend Julie, or perhaps even before. For years after that I visited Julie and Keith overnight at their Cromwell home, always graciously received, often with my children. Keith and Julie attended my 4th daughter's Weslayan graduation and her wedding in New Jersey. Every summer for years, we would at least have dinner together--at the Maple Leaf in Fort Tryon Park; or Aurora, my nephew's Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, or, as in this photo, with my son at a restaurant in New Haven. Over the years we had many lively and good-natured conversations on any number of topics. Keith's interests were wide-ranging--he was such an enthusiastic and engaged traveler. He loved to hear from others as well as have vigorous exchange of views. Those were good times! Through the years, I especially appreciated Keith for his consideration and devotion as the husband of my friend Julie. May she find comfort and healing at this difficult time as Keith lives in the memories of those who loved him.

I just saw thus obituary. Keith was a gracious man. Helped me with his legal advice in my tumultuous times in 2004. He was also a Neighbor. I thought off him and tried to call and found he moved on. Such is the transient nature of our Life here. May He rest in peace and be in a better place.

Henry and I were shocked to hear the passing of Keith. Attached are two photos that recorded the friendship we shared when we were young. We saw Alex grow from baby to youth to an accomplished businessman. To keith's credit, the family bonded so nicely with both Judy and Moon. We last saw Keith in 2014 when we were preparing to move to CA. It is regretful that we had not seen one another again. We shall miss him forever!
