I knew Keith all his life as me and my wife LaVerna worked with his mom and Dad at the post office. My son Brian was born three months after Keith and they became fast friends. Me and Irv coached the boys in baseball from T-Ball to senior league. Keith was always an overachiever. Though smaller than most of the boys, he was always one of the best! (Keith didn't grow into his size until after graduation!) Keith was a good man who will be sorely missed by those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of his life.

Keith was a wonderful, loving, caring man. I knew him mostly through his mother Sue, who is my long time, best friend. He loved horse racing. On my last visit Sue and I went to Keeneland and ran into Keith. He tried to give me advice on how he picked horses, but it was kind of Greek to me, so I continued to use names I liked or great color! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but especially his Mother. Sue, I so wish I could be there, but know that my heart and prayers are with you! Love ya, Conlin
