Sad to hear of Keith´s passing. I remember a fun loving guy with a tough exterior and tender heart. Would sacrifice himself and give what he had if a friend were in need. I smile when thinking of how much he loved music. I can still see him dancing and singing the lyrics of Van Halen songs.
I can see him doing the same right now in Heaven.

Keith was my dear buddy at Plaza Jr high school.
He was beloved by everyone and well
respected.
He influence so many young kids such as myself in a positive way with his humor, laughter and friendship.
Undoubtedly, his family upbringing was pure and loving.

Can not think of Kieth without smiling remembering so many funny moments working with him and his brother Jeff at Captain George's in the 90s. He and Jeff contributed so much in helping build that legendary restaurant into the success it is today. My deepest sympathy to thier Mother, Mrs Safewright, for the loss of her dear sons. Both gone way too soon. May they rest in peace.
