Dear Mary Kay (& all the Schwab family),
I just happened to see the SPX Bulletin from this past Sunday and saw a notice of Keith's death. All of my prayers & thoughts are with you and your family. He was our neighbor, school friend & your High School Sweetheart. I have fond memories of all of us on proms & dates together and later - your wedding. When you're having a rough day of it - think of all your good times together that will hopefully, bring a smile to you.

To The Schwab Family~I just learned of the passing of your beloved husband and father. I worked at the brewery with Keith. Even though I worked in the office I had many visits and phone conversations with him through the years. I will always remember Keith as a wonderful man, kind and soft spoken. May your wonderful memories of your husband and father remain with you always.

To the whole Schwab family - I am so sorry for your sudden loss. When Libby moved back to New York, I missed her so much, but I told my friends that she had a wonderful family in New York. "They love her as much as I do." I am so glad that Libby had a chance to spend time with Grandpa Keith over the last couple of years. She told me that she had fun playing bingo with him when your whole family went camping.
I knew Keith was a good guy and devoted to his family and his community, but I don't think I realized how many lives he touched.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I work at the brewery in the office. He knew my grandfather Clayton Ess from the fire dept. When he passed away he made it up to the office to tell me how sorry he was. I will always remember that. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Dear Mary Kay,
We have followed your lives through my Mom, Doratha O'Brien,who has sung your praises for years. Keith and I were classmates at St. Pius and Boy Scouts together for all those years. Seems like the Good Lord called him home early.
For that ,we are sorry for you and your family...
Keith,even when we were so very young, was a person who always thought before he spoke;a model, especially for guys like me.
May God be good to you and may you always feel Keith's affection.

Having grown up with Keith and attended St. Pius X School together, we were shocked to hear of Keith's passing. He was a tremendous help to our parents, Marvin and Kay Falls during the 1991 Ice Storm. He will be missed by so many people.

Mary Kay - When I found out Sunday of his passing from Bobo, I not only was shocked, but cried hard. He was such a good person, and I can't believe he's gone. The only other time I felt this kind of loss was when I lost my best friend from high school suddenly.
I am extremely saddened by the loss of Keith. I want you to know that I never realized how much he touched my life, until I heard that he passed.
If there is anything you need, or just want an ear to bend, please call me, or get ahold of me through Bobo or Derek.

Karl,
Haven't seen your Dad in a while and when I came across the photo with the other Firemen, it made me laugh, typical Keith, and I had to add this to Gallery.
I remember how excited your Dad was when he asked me to take a photo of you with him in the 'Mikes' room at the Brewery during your apprenticeship. He was so proud of you.
May you have him in your thoughts anytime you need him.
