Keith was one of the nicest people ever, very down to Earth and genuine. I graduated from high school with him in 1970. I always remember what a fast talker he was!

To the family and friends ;
Kieth and I graduated together in 1970. He never changed, he was one of the nicest guys to ever walk the face of the earth. It´s sad there's not millions more like him. I´ll miss him also
