Keith was a great friend and roommate at Holy Cross--such a thoughtful, caring, and bright guy. I also have been out of touch with Keith for a while, but this news has brought back memories of the great times we had at HC. My thoughts go out to Keith's family.

Keith was one of the brightest people I've yet to meet, a stalwart of our little "Thursday Night Club" at Holy Cross, and knew what it takes to be a loyal friend. He leaves a legacy of warmth and kindness behind him. May his family be sustained in that knowledge.
