Keith was one of the most kind-hearted people I've had the pleasure to know. His love for his family and students and his generous nature toward colleagues was on display at all times. What sad news that Keith is gone from our world. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I am so sorry for your loss Keith was a great guy! He was funny, as heck, hard-working, and a dedicated instructor. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
