Keith was a good friend since before junior high and throughout life.
Over the last few hours I've heard the same story I would always tell about him...he was very welcoming to newcomers and made everyone feel at ease about moving to a new place/school/part of town.
One of my fondest memories of Keith was during the summers in junior high when he and Al and I would ride our bikes to the pool every day and 'sneak' in through the back gate and hang out at the pool almost all day. Those were the glory days of growing up in LA and we enjoyed every minute of being able to wander and explore the Chesterfield Avenue area.
I"ll miss Keith and his warm, friendly way.
God Bless his family and especially his Mom... who was a Mom to many of us :)
