I knew of Keith when I was 18, trying to get a foot in the door, to become a carpenter. He was one of the best homebuilders in the area, back then. I didn't have much experience then, but after working at a few different crews homebuilding, I finally had the opportunity to work along side one of the "greats", who I aspired to be like, at a large contractor company. He was great, a legend I was honored to work along side with, unbelievable memories, I considered him a friend, although our paths didn't cross much after those few years, but appreciated all the time, laughs, and knowledge he shared with me while working together back then. Keith you will be missed. One of your friends, Pete Lyons.
