He LOVED his job as a greeter at Walmart, Saline. We all loved him dearly as fellow associate. We felt like family at that time. I sat with him many times during lunch. He was so kind. Always smiling. Customers loved him. Thank you for your service, Kieth, both in the military and as a fellow human being.
