We were very sorry to hear about Keith’s passing. My wife and I knew Keith at Nicholls’ High School. My wife’s maiden name was Miriam Mierl. She always was so impressed with his kindness and friendliness. We had not seen him for many years and it is clear that he had a wonderful family and many friends. We know that his loving family will miss him greatly!

I only knew Keith from work but always enjoyed talking & joking with him when I stopped by our NOBRA office earlier in my career. He had a way of looking out for new pilots when they first started out. As a fellow veteran he & I always had something to talk about.

Keith is a first rate veteran & I appreciate having known him the little that I did.

Very sorry to learn of Keith's passing & extend my best wishes to his family.

So sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was a wonder person, father and husband. He put up a good fight for a long time. We will deeply miss him. I only wished I would have gone to see him when we were both in the hospital at the same time. But he is in good hands and no longer suffering. Perhaps he will meet up with Mike this weekend. May he be at peace.

I'm sorry we didn't get together soon. seems I was in the hospital the same time you were. You were a wonderful, sweet person and will be sadly missed. You put up a long fight and was graced with your present as long as you could. You will not be forgotten. You are for every loved. May you rest in peace.
