I am sorry for the heart ache the family is going through. I worked with Keith years ago at Great Western Supply Co. Always a nice guy and easy going! I bumped in to him a couple times when driving through the lot or when having work done at Lindquist Ford. Wishing you the peace of God during this most difficult time.
