I just learned of Keith's passing today. I knew him while @ NC State. He was a great guy and while I had not been in touch with Keith in years, he made everybody around him feel great. He worked for many years at Varsity Men's Wear with Sammy and Harry while at school. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I just learned of Keith's passing. I went to Millbrook High with Keith and we had quite a few fun times. I (and my mom) will never forget when he gave me a hamster for my birthday! And he was such a sharp dresser then..my thoughts are with you.
