Keith also leaves behind many friends and wonderful coworkers. Keith was a professional truck driver for the construction and dairy industries for 35 years with a perfect driving record. Keith was known as a loyal employee who always put in a hard day's work and looked out for his fellow co-workers. Although he loved his work, he was looking forward to retirement with Sue in Tucson very soon. Keith enjoyed building his home and ranch in New Mexico, taking family vacations, fishing, football, shooting sports, golf, trucks, classic cars, and classic rock and roll. He always had his radio tuned to the music of the 70's and 80's. Keith enjoyed being called "old school". He was a fan of old westerns, Gunsmoke, Andy Griffith, and James Bond. Modesty and loyalty were his true traits. He loved a good joke and made many friends everywhere he went. He could strike up a conversation with anyone anywhere.
