So sad to learn of Keith passing away. My condolences to his wife and children, as well as his extended family. Went to school in Owego with Keith before he transferred to Ross Corners Christian Academy. He is remembered by all his classmates at Owego Free Academy. I had reconnected with Keith a couple of years ago via Facebook and I enjoyed hearing all the great things he had done, his family of which he was rightfully proud. RIP Keith.

I have know Keith for many years, starting at Living Well gym in the 80s, then later coaching his son, Zach, in Little League, and for the past many years, seeing him every week at Family Fitness gym. He loved his family and was very proud of his kids. I always enjoyed speaking with Keith, and always left with a smile. He will be missed by many.
