I love you and I miss you. Every day.

It's been 12 & 1/2 years since you passed. I don't know what prompted you to pop in to my mind, but you did, and I've just begun to think and think. I was so young when you passed, and as I think back, so many things are fuzzy, I can't remember your voice, I can't remember your laugh, or your smile, I really can't remember anything from back then, but even though I can't remember any specifics, I miss you. You affected my life so much when I was little, I can feel it in me. And it eats me up that I can't remember any of it because I know if I could, it would be so many great memories. I miss you Keith, and I wish you were still here so that I could remember all these attributes so that I could remember these memories, but no matter what, memories or no memories, you touched my life so much that I can't help but cry when I think about that night. I can't wait to see you again. Goodbye for now, I'll see you when its my time to join you.

Keith:

Stopped by to visit with you yesterday as is my regular ritual when traveling through Greenfield. Got some really good chills while looking up at a bright spring NH sky and thinking of you. I know you are still here looking down on us and Nate. Almost a decade has gone by, but it still feels like yesterday. Miss you my friend.

Sully,

Life has been good and you would have been the first to say keep on living it! Never forgot your words that day we hiked up Crotched Mountain in the snow when I was in the process of studying for my Captains license - "your life is yours and keep on climbing while you live it.." or something to that effect. Been doing that my friend and working on getting it right each day. Working on swinging the clubs the right way so I'm not hitting too thin also but that's just Golf. Or, is Golf a lot like life?

Met a good woman who is originally from Vietnam, got married and we live in the Seattle area where there are many mountains to be climbed.

Well, you're off on the journey we all someday take and hope the waters are calm and the weather is favorable.

Peace My Friend

Kelly,
It has been a very long time since I have seen you and I just recently heard of your loss. I was so shocked and so sorry for your loss. I remember the times we had many many years ago when you and Keith had first started dating. I was living in Greenfield at the time right up the road from Keith's house. We used to have fun hanging out watching movies and cooking dinners. I always knew that Keith had a deep love for you and that you changed the way he looked at relationships a great deal. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that you and your son will be able to cherish your memories until you meet with Keith again.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers at this time of year. So glad I found this site to let you know. I found out about 4-5 months after the fact. Everyone thought I knew, but I didn't. Keith was a wonderful person. My 1st memories are from PES (boys chase the girls) Keith had a wonderful smile that made all of us girls melt! He and Mark were everyone's 1st crush:) He had a very special way of making people feel that they were the most important person to him. He made us smile and feel so great when we were around him. The time we had with him will always be cherished.

Hi Keith -

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much you've been missed. I've been thinking about you alot over the last few weeks because as you probably know, my mom - your aunt Les, passed away from cancer three weeks ago today. I hope she has found you and gram because that would make me feel much more at peace. I promise I will do my best to help take care of your mom down here if you do the same for my mom up there. I'm hoping your mom will help fill the "Mimi" shoes that mom has left empty. The boys are really going to miss their grandmother. I wish you had gotten the chance to meet Luke and Ben, the infamous twins I was carrying when you passed away. They are almost three now and with the help of their big brother Zach, keep us running all the time. I'm thinking if I drop the three of them off with your parents for a night it would get their minds off of everything for a little while.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to stop by, but I'm sure I'll be dropping in more frequently as I stop to visit mom. Even though we didn't see each other as often as I would have liked I thought about you often and I still do. After all, you were my first crush.

Your Little Cousin

Dear Kelly, Nathan and Sullivan family,

Most of you I have never met and most of you probably don't know me, but I was so saddened by Keith's loss.

See, Keith was my first love. I met him at Mckelvie in 7th grade and just adored him. As you know first love is never really love, the kind of love all of you have experienced From Keith for many years. However, he was always a wonderful and kind person. We maintained a friendship in highschool, but as time goes by, we grow up and we move on. When i saw his death in the paper my heart sunk. About 2 months after his death I found some pictures of Keith from Mckelvie. Kelly or any of the family, if you would like the photos please let me know I would be more than happy to mail whatever i have to you.

I know that losing my Father and Mother-in-law last year was a huge loss and one I will never fully understand, so anything that helps us remember(pictures, fond memories, etc) are so cherished.

I didn't know Keith the last half of his life, but I do know that he came from a wonderful family and that he grew into a wonderful man,father and husband. You are in my thoughts and hang onto those wonderful memories you had. Keith would want that. Soon, those will be the only ones you have, the happy ones.

Take care and God's Blessings on you.

Keith,

When you left us 2 years ago, disbelief, sadness, anger & confusion were emotions that were running thru me all at the same time. Not Keith. Not OUR Keith.

Two years later, the same emotions are here with me. I see Nathan and I just want to hug him till his cute little head pops off! (by the way, he's turning into the Keith I remember growing up with!!)

I remember looking for the perfect card to send to your mom and dad. I found one that I loved so much - I bought two. One, that I sent to them. The other was for me to keep. I put it on my desk, and it's still sitting there. Every now and then, I pick it up and read it and it makes me smile. I want to share it with you.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting starts and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us, "Don't miss me too much. The view is nice, and I'm doing just fine."

This card really touched me, because I can see you being the one that gets picked to spin us all around in those dizzy circles while you just laugh that great infectious laugh of yours. I can see you tossing those shooting starts for Nathan, and coloring those extra bright rainbows for him.

I know that even though we can't see you - you are here.

Toss me some of those shooting stars the next time you see me gazing at the night sky. I'll know that you are there.

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Ireland shawna

Dear Keith,

It has been two years since we stopped hearing your laughter. It feels like yesterday.

I miss you so much. Everyday there is something that reminds me of you. Some of the reminders cause me to laugh, while others cause tears.

It amazes me to see all lives that have been effected by that day. We went to the cemetary today. We left a candle and a bottle of hot damn to keep you warm.

I love and miss you.

Love Always,

Shawna

Keith,

Our 4th Annual Family Reunion was here at our home this year. We had a wonderful time, although your absence was felt very strongly by all of us. We looked at old photographs, and I had this one of you from when we went to Boston in that Limo and ended up at Polyestas, (or however you spell it). Do you remember that? You were such a goof that day! I remember clicking your picture thinking, "man, he doesn't give a hoot what he looks like, he's just having a great time." That night was so much fun. We all just let our hair down.

We're still missing you, Buddie. Forever and always. We're still missing you.

Hugs & kisses,

Rhonda

Keith,

I love you and I miss you so much. It's been 15 months and it still feels like yesterday.

Please know that I am thinking of you today, I am thinking of your mom and dad, I am thinking of your sister and I am especially thinking of Nathan. They all love you and miss you, Keith.

I found a roll of film last week and brought it in to be developed. I sat in the parking lot at the camera shop and just cried when I picked them up. It was from our wedding reception. There was a picture of you. Same beautiful smile you always seed to have on your face. It was almost like a small "hello". It made me sad, but it warmed my heart at the same time.

I will love you forever and ever, and treasure every memory of you that I have.

Happy 36th Birthday.

Lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Dear Keith--

Hello...It's been a year since you left us, and still it is so hard to deal with your loss.Yesterday on New Years Eve I was hanging out with a lot of friends in Orlando having a great time but no matter how much fun I had I still had you in the back of my mind..We all miss you greatly and wish you were still here..I love you with all my heart and MISS you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.

Keith,

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since you left us. We all miss you so much and think of you every single day. Your infectious smile is a vision I will have in my memory forever.

I wish that you were able to meet my daughter, Taylor. She is so beautiful. I thought of you throughout my pregnancy and think of you often when I look at her. I know how much you loved children & know that you would have really adored her.

I miss you so much. As I sit here, thinking of you, the tears are overwhelming. Even now, a year later, looking at your picture is unbearable. At our family reunion in August, we all thought of you, silently, and quietly shed our own tears. I remember looking thru an albumn and the very last picture was of you and Gram. You were just as happy as could be. I was just overcome with tears that I could not stop.

I stop by the cemetary often, just to feel like I am near you. I hope you know that you will always be on my mind and in my heart - always. I love you so much and wish that I could give you a big hug & tell you that. We never say the things that we feel in our hearts until it's too late, do we? I wish that I had told you what a great person you were, and how much it touched me that you loved Nathan so much. You were such an AWESOME dad. So unselfish & so giving. You gave him memories that he will cherish forever. He will remember you, even though he was young, he will carry these memories with him forever.

I love you & miss you, Keith. You are on a lot of people's mind today as we struggle through the first anniversary of your death. Many are going to the cemetary at 3:45 today, the moment that your watch stopped. I will be there earlier, but will be thinking of you at that moment - in private.

May you rest in peace, Cousin, until we meet again.

Hugs and kisses to you and to Grampa, too!

Love,

Rhonda XO(for you) XO (for Grampa)

Mickey, Elsa, Kelly, Kelly and Nathan,

I'm so sorry for not having written earlier. I was at a loss for words. I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine your pain. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you always. If there were something I could do to ease your pain I would, as would anyone who knows you. But we all know it's just time that will help. I remember when we lost my uncle someone said "In time your sadness will be a "sweet sadness". That too, will be true for you. When you think of Keith, you will think of all the wonderful things he would say and do, his smile and his laughter. The memories are sweet, and as you think of them you will smile.

Keith,

Thank you so much for the memories you have given all of us. I will cherish them forever. Bret loved you like a brother, but I'm sure you know that. Alyssa and Ty knew you as "Uncle Keith" as did so many of the children who's lives you touched. Thank you for the times you stopped by just to say hi with Nathan or lend a helping hand. I will miss those times. I remember the day you brought him over and he was all geared up with Ty's Power Ranger shield and sword, his army helmet and plastic walkie talkie gun trying to juggle his "plain" cheese sandwich as he ran around the yard trying to keep up with the big kids. You watched him and smiled with sparkling eyes. Your love for him was intense. Kelly said he wants to come play with Ty. Please know he will always be welcome.

I will never forget the last time I saw you. I will cherish that hug and warm smile forever.

We Love You and Miss You!!!

XOXO

Keith,

first i'm so sorry it took me this long to write. I have come in here so many times and just couldn't do it. I'm sure you understand. I just want to thank you for all the great memories you gave me. You gave me some of the best childhood memories anybody could ask for. The fun times we had could never be erased. I still remember when you cut your finger on the slide at Greenfield Elementary School, then talked me into cutting mine so we could be blood brothers. Like a fool I listened and did it. I wouldn't change that choice for anything. You had such a way with people it was incredible. You were everyone's best friend, Cousin, Nephew, Grandson. That says a lot about a person Keith. Everywhere you had plans to go everyone awaited your arrival. A party was not the same until you showed up. You brought something special with you everywhere you went. You are that special one God makes every now and then, to make this world a better place. I do believe that other "Keith's" are out there somewhere. There has to be right? I don't think any are like you but I have to believe there are. Keith I do wish things were different between us as we got older. I know we both had our own things going on with families, work, and hobbies but I had always wished we were as close as when we were kids. I know i'm getting a little sappy here and i'm so sorry. I am sitting here holding back tears as i write this. What I am trying to say is I loved you like a brother, I will always cherish what we did, and you made the Sullivan family what it is. It's too bad things like this can't be said until someone is no longer in person to hear it. But if you are listening (or reading this) i'm going to miss you and I will never stop talking about you. I will come back in here and write again. Take care up there and say hi to Grampa for me. I will do my best to carry on your antics at family reunions ok?

I Love You!

Bret

I am so sorry to hear of Keith's sudden and tragic death. I am sure he will be missed by his family and friends, and that they will all help each other deal with this loss. I believe our souls are stars, and when you look at the sky at night, they all shine down for us to see.

Dear Mickey & Elsa,

I never had the honor of meeting Keith, but after reading the other entries it sounds like he had many of his Dad's characteristics and capabilities. (Elsa, I do not know you, so it is hard to comment)

You must have been very proud of him and his loss is terribly tragic. It sounds like Keith will remain in the minds and hearts of many of his friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please say hello to your brothers Mickey. I remember them well. Hope and expect the entire Sullivan family is providing you support. Let us know if we can be of any help.

When you get a chance, let us know what the High Hopes Foundation is. We will be sending a donation in Keith's name.

Keith -

I'm at a loss for words. I've entered this web site so many times and couldn't seem to find the right words to express my sorrow. I still can't but I'll try.

Our high school days were some of the best days of my life. The love, friendships and bonds made with the "group" will last forever in my heart and no one can take that from me.

When I think of you I will always think of fun, smiles, fairness, kindness and many jokes!!!

I never realized how much you could love a friend until you loose one. Rest in peace, Keith.

My most sincere sympathies to the entire Sullivan family.

John Huey

January 14, 2001

Keith, it is so hard to have to be writing to you and not talking to you. I wanted to share for everyone my favorite memory, but I just can't pick one. Kelly M reminded me about the Wingding, so we were explaining to Pat that it was all about having the best decorated bike. And we've always joked with ou for ditching into the bushes on July 4th to leave us to blame for the firecrackers. Or the night you boys scared us & our babysitter called the police before we saw your faces. A favorite as we found out you played it on your sister with the same results! You just always had to pick on me, and I always had to tell and then you'd get sent home - you were like a brother, whether I wanted one or not. That summer we canoed w/ Kell, CJ & Ray was mini-payback as you did all of the work in our canoe while Kell & I rode along. And, about our Kell, I am so glad I could be the link that connected you, and now we have Nathan. I thought right away "she's in big trouble" as you made yourself so comfortable! What a year - we went to Don's with you and met "the group"..where I 1st met Pat (so much for your warnings!). He was thrilled the day you poured cold water on him in the camp shower that only trickled hot water! And we endlessly pestered Kell to call in to get out of work and Sundays talking me into going back to UNH EARLY Monday a.m. just to make the weekend last longer. I called you from school the 1st Winter Kell visited you in FLA, and just had to be there. I flew down & you & Kell hid me the whole day to surprise my mother at the cookout. Oh, and thanks Phil for giving me a couple extra days in the sun with him by falling in love and coming home early. I swiped your ticket and flew as "P. Ireland" that year. We learned that Newark airport had one small bar and took turns checking our flight & guarding our stools!

I'm sure you are the prankster you are because it is inherited since we flew in so late we stayed with your parents and "Uncle Mick" tried one on me...really meant for you. I guess if it's passed on, then we're in big trouble with Nathan.

My first climb of Mt. Monadnock was with you and I am sure you didn't take us the "easy" way. I loved the "dancing fool" in you - the DJ at PollyEsta's finally played Brick House for you to get you out of his booth and then you never sat down. For Kell's bday we went back by limo, and this time also tried the shooters; I think it was the backwards ride home that did her in. And shortly after came your Nathan, and all of the fun we've had with the 3 of you since. We always leave saying "we should do this more often" because just being together was so great. Cookouts, parties, holiday & bday visits - you were right, we should have done them more. They just won't be the same without you.

And our hellos and goodbyes weren't with big strong hugs, but with kissses on the cheek. I hope you took mine with you from my Friday before Christmas visit, because I am keeping yours until we meet again.

Know up there that I will always love Kell and Nathan and be here for them. It's not fair that you're not here and I miss you so much already, but with a huge wonderful family and such great friends, you did leave them in good hands. There's a place in my heart that will always be yours...

Kell & Nathan, after 20+ years, you know you can count on me, and now also on Pat, for always. I love you both.

The day that Keith died, the world lost a very special person. He touched so many lives. I grew up next to Keith and will always remember what a special person he was. He was always so full of life.

My heart goes out to his family. I didn't know his wife, but am sure she must be a special person, as Keith obviously loved her a great deal. His son Nathan goes to the same daycare as my daughter Teresa, who says someday, she's going to marry him. Time will tell. And to his sister, Kelly, whom I went through all twelve years of highschool with, if you ever just need someone to talk to, please call me!

Dear Everyone that knew Keith,

I know it is hard to deal with the lost of a truly great person because i am only 13 and was very close to him i remember everytime he would come down when I was just like 5 and he would take me in my red wagon and pull me to the beach where he taught me how to make drizzle castles..And I know the Sullivan family very well and I have great symmpthy for all of them and I know that Keith would want all of us to remember the goos times that we had with him but it is very hard to remember those times because you really miss him and miss those good times....The last time I saw Keith was last year..I can't wait till Elsa and Mikkie come down so I can see some pictures of my boyfriend!!!this what he told me he would always be..No matter what..Keith was like a big borther to me and if someone wants to try to be my big brother they have some big shoes to fill..and personally no one is as great of a person as him..we need more people in this world like Keith Sullivan and I know how much everyone loves him and misses him beause i have lost loved ones as well...

Please remember if you wanna talk to me about anything you can e-mail me..I know that I am only 13 but I know how it feels...

I love the whole Sullivan family and friends....

Love Always

Keith,

I was very saddened about the news of your accident!! My first thoughts were of the pictures that I still have of you. I had to get them by chasing you around the playground at PES.

To Keith's family I am very sorry for your loss and may you find the strenghth you need to get through this tough time!!!

To all of my friends and almost family,

The last time I saw Keith was one of the most fun times that we had together. Roger, Annette, Frank, Keith, Kelly, Nathan, CJ, and I were headed to the Fleet Center for a Bruins game. We dropped Nathan off in Bedford with Mickey and Elsa who always took Nathan whenever needed. We were off for a good time in Boston. It was even more fun because we were all in the back of a limo living it up. It is a good memory and it is one that will be kept close to my heart.

My heart was shattered when the news came to me. I threw a fit like a three year old longing to bring Keith back any way possible. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that.

Keith is in a better place now. He will guide us with a warm hand and that Keith smile when it is our time.

To the Sullivan family,

It means a lot to me to see a family come together like yours does. I see that a Sullivan is there for one another whenever times are rough or smooth. A Sullivan is there to listen or to help out in a time of need. I cannot wait to be a part of this family.

Please remember that I love you all, family and friends. I might not say it all of the time, but you are all in my heart.

Love,

Erika

dear mickey and elsa, until carmel spoke with mickey today we didn't know about this guestbook. we've been reading the accolades about keith, and you must be proud to have raised a son that made such an impression on so many people in such a short time.we didn't know keith as close as these others did, but knowing the two of you as well as we do, it's no wonder he was so liked, and so admired.what else is there in life but great memories and leaving a great impression on those left behind. he did it!

we wish we could have been there to comfort you in your sorrow. but, it is obvious, from reading the guestbook, that you were surrounded with love and support.please pass on our deepest sympathy to his sister, kelly, and his wife, kelly. some day , nathan will be proud to read all the wonderful tributes about his dad, and will give him memories to be proud of and a challenge to grow on.

looking forward to seeing you when you return.

love, gerry and carmel

The first time I met Keith was playing basketball with a few people. It was winter time and he had just got back from Florida. As we were playing, people that knew him were calling him "Ginny", due to his dark tan. Every time this was said Keith would just laugh it off of say some off hand comment "always joking of course". As time went on I could see that many people could give Keith a hard time (and he would give it right back), in all that time he always did this with a smile and a laugh. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like Keith. Always quick with a smile and always there to help. His big heart and a special gift for making and keeping friends are just two of thousands of reasons he will be truly missed. As long as all those who knew him keep a memory and a place in their heart, Keith will never be forgotten, and will live on in stories such as these.

My sympathies go out to Kelly, Nate, the Sullivan family and every person that had ever met Keith. A true friend to many will be greatly missed but not forgotten.

Dear Kelly, Nathan and the Sullivan family;

We will miss Keith terribly, he was a true friend, someone you could talk to about anything. We will always remember all the softball games when he would say he was the greatest hitter and his homerun was coming, and then he wouldn't even get it pass the pitcher. So he stopped hitting for awhile and did what he was best at, pitching. Once in awhile he would ask to hit and say he was going to hit it far, so we would let him and he would do the same thing and everyone would laugh including Keith. He was a great person and would go out of his way for anybody. Keith would show up at our house after a snowstorm and plow just because he wanted to. We will miss all the fun times we had with Keith and Kelly. Jay especially liked playing boot hockey with Keith, and Keith would always say, Jay I still have your net, but Jay didn't care as long as Keith had it, he knew it would be taken care of. Keith we are going to miss your smile and your pratical jokes. Kelly, I (Deb) loved talking with you the other night and remember Jay and I are always here for you and Nate. You, Nate, CJ, and the Sullivan Family are in our thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,

Jay and Deb Bradford

Keith will forever be missed. I didn't know him well but do remember him helping me in a snowstorm after I had gone off the road. He insisted on driving my car home for me. From my understanding from others, this was

Keith's way, being there & willing to help others in need. My prayers

are with the family.

Keith,

It has been many years since we saw each other and I regret that more now than ever. You were my second cousin, as a child I had such a crush on you. I have thought about you many times over the years. I am sorry for not knowing you and keeping in touch with you. I know that I will see you again and this time will not take time for granted. Rest in Peace!!

Mickey and Elsa,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are such a wonderful family and I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. If you need anything at all please don't hesitate to ask. Try and be strong and lean on your family that is what we are here for. I love you both.

Kelly M,

I can't imagine how you are feeling to just have lost your brother, and my heart goes out to you. If you need anything please ask. Lets please stay in touch! Two weeks ago I was talking to my dad about your family and my family all getting together now that we are all married and have children. We were so close as children I don't know what happened. Lets please get together and we can remember Keith and you can tell me all about him the past few years.

Kelly and Nathan,

I have never met either of you but I wish I had. I want to say how sorry I am for your loss, my heart goes out to you

The following was written for Keith and read at his funeral. It had been put here at the request of his family.

Keith,

I'll try to make this as quick as I can to spare you another one of my long speeches, but I don't know if I can. You always told me that I talked too much anyway. As a matter of fact, you've told me on many occassions that the only reason I win so many arguements is because people just get sick of listening to me. And then of course, I'd argue that with you.

Keith, you were my brother. We weren't related by blood, but I don't think even that could have made us any closer than we were. So much of my life was your life, and so much of your life was my life and you have a big part of me with you right now. That's something that I'll never get back.

In today's world, where nobody seems to have their priorities straight, you were the exception. You always knew the order of importance in your life; family, friends, work and fun. You were blessed with one of the closest families I have known and you had part of each and every one of them inside of you and you gave each of them a big part of yourself. But you had so much of your Mom, Dad and Ronnie Inside. One of the nicest things you ever did for me was giving me the ongoing honor of knowing and loving your parents,Mickey and Elsa. They not only opened up their home to me, like they have done for so many of your friends, but they opened up their hearts and lives to me as well. I know they didn't do it just because they like me, but they did it because I was your friend, and deep down inside, they knew how much you meant to me. They gave you this same wonderful trait and you lived it every day of your life.

I have never known anyone who had so much respect, commitment and love for anybody else as you did for Uncle Ron. So many people used Sullivan Bros. Paving as just a job. But it wasn't just a job; it was part of you. And the pride that you had, came from doing your best every day for your uncle and the pride that came from that company carrying your name. You tried on occasion to sound all rough and tough about Ronnie around the boys, but you weren't kidding anybody. We all knew how you felt about him. And you didn't even know how much you sounded like Ronnie when you were doing it. By watching your relationship with him, you taught me to look past the sometimes rough exterior and truly appreciate what a great man Ronnie is.

You carried this love of family over to Kelly and Nate and the life you were building together. You loved Kelly every second of every day from the moment you met her. She's such a strong girl, Keith, but I want you to know, because I know your worried about her, that we will all do our best to take care of her. Nate was your world and you were his. You worshipped the ground that he walked on, and then he turned around and did the same for you. I'm so happy that we had that father/son ice fishing day last week. You had so many plans for him and you wanted him to know everything. Just before Christmas you were looking at a telescope because you wanted him to know the stars. As the heavens are endless, so was your love for your boy. There's alot of unfinished business with him, Keith. All I can do is promise you that we will try to raise Nate the way that you would have wanted and to teach him about his Dad. When Roger and I got down to you on the river last Sunday and brushed the snow from around you and held your hands, that one tear that rolled down your cheek I know was for Nate.

You sure did love kids and they loved you. You were this big, modern day Pied Piper. They followed you and wanted to play with you whenever and wherever they could. And you, being the big kid that you were, loved to play with them just as much. You used to get just as excited for our kids as you did for your own. When we went to watch Erik play hockey in Manchester with Kelly, Dan and Ryan, I thought you were going to get kicked out like one of those unruly parents you see on Jerry Springer. Chuckie and Brit loved it when you came over to swim, because they knew that Uncle Keithy would be tossing them into the water for hours and showing them how to do those less than perfect flips off the diving board.

You loved to have fun. And you loved having fun with your friends, especially if it was outside. And whatever you did, whether it was golf, softball, paintball, football, snowmobiling or anything, there was no middle ground with you. It was 110% full out or nothing. But that was what made it so much fun; not so much us doing it, but doing it with you with so much life and energy, we couldn't help but enjoy it.

And you had so many friends Keith. From so many different places in so many different walks of life. There is no age that denied you, all you had to do was give them a Keith Sullivan smile, and they were yours for life. Your friends from high school in "the group" were so important to you. And you always did your best to stay in touch with them. You had such a big heart, that you had plenty to go around for everyone and anyone who wanted it, and we were more than happy to give a piece of ours back to you. You were the most unselfish person I have ever known. If any of us needed anything, we didn't have to ask; you were there, but not without a prank or a few jabs along the way. You had so many friends in this area and you made each of us feel that our friendship was unique. You were the one that brought alot of us together. I know that you don't want to hear it, but I'm so worried that with you gone, some of these friendships could drift away from us, because you were the glue that bound us all together. I'll do what I can, but I don't know of anyone who had a bigger life magnet than you did.

I'd like to share a couple of personal memories of Keith. They are only a few of so many. I guess they're a little selfish because they are mine, but I know you all have just as many in your hearts' where they'll stay forever to be shared from time to time.

Keith loved this popular but very seedy little restaurant in Bonita Springs, Florida called Buffalo Chips. They make the best buffalo wings anywhere and Keith and I have tried alot of places and nowhere comes close. They also make some of the longest, curliest Cajun Curly Fries anywhere. One day when we were all down in Florida, Kelly, Keith and I went fishing. As happened on occasion, we had some beverages while on the water. I had a few too many, but when we all got in, we decided to go to Buffalo Chips. We took the Red Lizard which was on old Chrysler convertible that Mickey and Els kept in Florida.

Well, on the way, I decided to take a little snooze in the back seat with the top down. When we got there apparently Keith tried to wake me up but I was in no mood to wake up. He told Kelly they'd go inside and order and that he was sure I'd wake up. I didn't. When the order of wings and curly fries came out Keith thought maybe the smell of the fries would get me up so he brought one ouside and put it under my nose. It didn't work, so he stuck this extra long curly fry up one of my nostrils as I was laying in the back seat of an open convertible in the front of the restaurant where everyone had to pass by to get inside. Keith was apparently beside himself with laughter so Kelly brought out another one for my other nostril. Keith probably ate the most wings he ever had that day, and real slowly, just so he could stay inside and watch people come by the Red Lizard and just start laughing at me.

This one happened just last week, but at the time I really didn't know how much it would mean to me. As I mentioned we went Out ice fishing last week with the boys and our boys. It was before this last storm and there was just a little bit of snow on the part of Otter Lake where we were fishing. But there was also a big area that had no snow and the ice was as smooth as glass. Keith and I took Chuckie, Nate and Eric Patch over to this area and spent a good half hour just running and sliding on our boots across this area. The boys just thought this was the funniest thing and were laughing that uncontrollable kid laugh where they burp and hiccup. And every time Keith came to a stop, he would say "hey Nate" and hold up the I love you sign. And every single time Nate would get that sweet, beautiful smile on his face and hold up his mitten which you knew underneath was giving Dad the I love you sign right back.

We had our secret fishing hole in the backwaters in Naples which

really wasn't that secret as Keith took so many of his friends there. But he always called it "our secret fishing hole". We knew there was a big one down there, and we went there pretty often to catch it. But we also knew that we never really did catch much there and deep down we knew that we wouldn't. But it was one of our favorite places to talk and take in some rays. We would sit there for hours and talk about everything. We talked about our families. We talked about work and what we were gonna do to make it big in the paving industry. We talked about our friends and what was going on with them. We talked about our parents. We also talked about the little things like solving world hunger and creating a lasting peace in Ireland. But what we mostly talked about were our dreams. The dreams we had for ourselves and the ones we had for our families. We talked about what we wanted our kids to do. And we talked about our dreams of retirement, and I liked those the best because it always involved me and Shawna, Keith and Kelly, two big houses and a big boat. But no matter how far fetched some of it seemed at the time, I always believed that those dreams would become reality, because if anyone had the gift to do it, Keith did. So if you're ever in the backwaters of Naples, look for the old osprey nest and the little cove beside. Drop a line in and sit back and dream. Keith would like that.

The last one I don't think I have ever told anybody except maybe Mickey and Els, but I would like to close with it.

Keith and I went out to Lely-Barefoot beach off Bonita Beach Road probably over ten years ago. It was before the beach was developed and before they put all the state park parking lots in at the end of the road. We took his truck right out onto the beach and sat down on a piece of driftwood. There was absolutely nobody around. We were sitting there and an eagle came and landed about ten feet in front of us, picked up some dead sea oats and took it back into the Mangrove's. It didn't care that we were there, and we certainly didn't mind it choosing us to entertain. It kept coming back and landing all around us and would pick up pieces of debris and fly off. After awhile it apparently had all it needed for the day and left us sitting there.

Keith looked at me and said, "you know, it would be really cool to be an eagle. You go up North in the summer when its nice and fish and have a family and build whatever size house you want and nobody ever messes with ya. Then in the winter, you come down here and do the same thing all over again. It would be the perfect life." Well, somewhere this Spring an eagle is going to be born somewhere. And its going to grow to be the biggest, strongest, baddest eagle there ever was. Its going to love to fish, its going to love to build and its going to love to raise a family. It will have a part of Keith Sullivan in it and it will love life. And someday if I'm Lucky enough, it will come visit me on a beach somewhere...

Soar high my brother. I love you always.

Keith

I cannot remember not knowing you. We were so little when you lived down the street from me. Whenever I come home to Peterborough you always greeted me with such warmth and we would spend time asking each other about each other's family. I will miss you knowing I won't see you again. You will always be in my heart and remembered forever.

Kelly and Nathan,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and I cannot begin to imagine the grief you feel. Nathan is a beautiful little boy who reminds me so much of Keith. I love to see him when I visit my sister's daycare. Beth will continue to shower Nathan with love and I hope you feel comfort in that.

Micky, Elsa and Kelly,

I am so sorry that you have lost a son and brother. Words almost seem meaningless now. Please know I think of you often and even more so at this time. I love you all.

Hey Buddy,

It's Sunday morning. Pete and Lucy left a little while ago to go back to New York. Shawna and the kids are going to Chuck E. Cheese's with Kel and Nate and others. I know you'd like to be there if you could.

New Orleans lost yesterday. You weren't there to give the hex to Minnesota with your wiggling fingers.

Everybody has been so great during this. It's helped me out quite a bit, and I know it's helped all your family and other friends as well.

I have to leave for work today. You used to tell me how much it sucked when I had to go on a Sunday.

It's amazing that life goes on and the world keeps spinning. I just want it to stop and spin backwards just for a few days. Even if everything happened the same way it did, I still want to see you one more time. I'd have so much to say, and you'd tell me to shut up.

When I'd get home from travelling during the week, I'd always stop at your house before I went home. Just to see you for a minute and say "hi". I'll still do it. Just to say "hi" to Kel and Nate.

I miss you...

Phil

Keith,

You have been a true friend over the years. I often think of all the good times we had. Like the time we lived in Florida. Our canoe trip with Babs that you kept telling her " my truck is just around the next bend", and it wasn't. I cherish all the times we had and I will think of you and your family always. My heart goes out to Kelly, Nathan,Mickey & Elsa, your sister Kelly and to the rest of your family. I will miss you Keith. Thank you for letting me know you.

Your Friend Always,

Our deepest sympathy to all the Sullivan Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

One week has now passed since the tragic, untimely, death of Keith. The pain is deep and the right words are still hard to find.

Hundreds of people in the community gathered together to join family and friends to bring comfort to one another for the wake, the funeral in celebration of his life and then laid him to rest. The love and friendship felt by all in attendance was overwhelming. Keith touched so many lives. What a wonderful way to be remembered.

We'll miss Keith and his friendly smile. We have lost a great young man and he will be especially missed around town and the surrounding community and by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

May he forever rest in peace.

It has been several years since I last saw Keith. He and I met in grade school and remained friends through high school. Although we didn't see much of each other after that, I often thought of him, where he was and what he was doing. My fondest memories will be of laughter and jokes!! My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Peace be with you...

Dear Kelly, Nathan and the Sullivan family, I am so sorry for the loss you had to suffer, all of his friends and family. I first met and got to know Keith in school, then again in softball. He was always in a good mood, never seen him loose his temper. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him to go around. Keith we will all miss you, but will never forget you. Kelly be strong for yourself and your son Nathan. If you ever need to talk to an old friend I'll be here. To the Family, My Deepest Sympathy.

He always had a kind word to share with everyone he met along with a joke or two just to make you laugh. He was a true friend and wonderful father to his son. Remember the times you shared, through love and laughter as we all will. His memory will forever live on. Our hearts are with you.

Dear Keith,

Flying above us, I let out a cry, I sit here and wonder why god, why?

It seems so unreal. When you had so much to offer us all. A friend, a father, a son, a husband & a brother. After you're wake tonight it's apparent just how many people love you! How crushed and devasted we all are. The tears still flow as does your laughter and love. We will truly miss you. So until we met again, goodbye my friend- we love you!

Kelly, Nathan, Mickey , Elsa & Kelly take care!

Love Tom, Tina & Riley

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sullivan family. I met Keith and his family when they would visit the Simonetta family many years ago. I can to this very day remember when Keith and his friend Eric would grin from ear to ear just having fun being kids! I thought to myself how polite he was even when not in the presence of his parents. I know he will live on through the lives of his wife and son. Truly children are a gift from God and what a special person and gift Keith was to the many lives he touched.

He is such a ray of sunshine and he reminds me a lot of you. He is such a happy and smiley boy just like you were. This is so hard for your wife and your family but I know that you will live on in your beautiful son, Nathan.Goodbye Keith

January 4, 2001

Kelly, Nathan and the Sullivan Family,

I'm not even sure how to express my deepest sympathy to you all. It is such a devastating tragedy to have Keith taken from us so soon. Reading through other peoples messages it becomes so apparent how many lives Keith has touched with his fun-loving, enthusiastic and positive attitude, and that in itself should warm our hearts. Unfortunately, we so often take for granted that those we love the most will always be there, and when they are taken from us, we cannot understand why.

There is peace in knowing that Keith is now in a much better place than here, although we would rather have him here! He will be watching over all of us and keeping the smiles on our faces whenever we think of him.

All my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Keith, I am so saddened by this news. It seems like just the other day your dad and my dad took us to Boothbay Harbor, ME deep sea fishing and we caught buckets of Mackerel together! I have great memories of Greenfield State Park when we would compete to see who could get a better tan and who had larger biceps. Your personality and your glow for life that you constantly emitted has and will never go unrecognized by those who knew you. My heart goes out to your family. Peace to you all.

Keith,

Where do I begin ? There are so many wonderful/crazy childhood memories....playing chicken at Greenfield State Park, the 100+ times being thrown in the pool, getting in trouble for throwing fire crackers at cars on the 4th of July....to most recently at Brady's when you teased me for the millionth time and then bought me a beer, getting Chris to dress up as a cow for a halloween party and watching with delight while Bret finally got you back and pushed you in the pool just this summer.

You always made everything fun and some of my best childhood memories include you.

The very best of you will go on in Nathan and I know you will always be there watching over him. When he gets that special twinkle in his eye and that unmistakeable grin on his face I see you and it warms my heart.

I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to call you my friend and you will always have a special place in my heart. Although you have left us much too soon, find peace in knowing that we will all be there for Kelly, Nathan and each other.

All my love,

Lisa

To the whole Sullivan Family,

We are all so lucky to have had someone so special in our lives. Not everyone can say they had someone so wonderful to remember. I’ll always remember Keith’s greetings -you never got a mellow hello it was more like Muurrrrph!!!! How the hell are you!!!! That enthusiasm was great. If you were ever down, all you needed to do was run into Keith. We’ll all have to keep that in mind as we celebrate his life.

We’ll all miss you Keith, you touched so many lives. Kelly and Nathan, we are here for you.

Love Murph, Tommy, Trevor and Matthew

To all the Sullivan's, My deepest and most sincere condolences to all of you. I have known most all of you my whole life. Keith as you already all know was an exceptional person. Always smiling always laughing and always so much fun to be with.

I will miss playing softball each summer with him, I'll never forget when he dislocated his finger at second base, him yelling at John to get the refrigerator off his back and run. Keith's commentating on the sidelines were always worth their weight in gold. I know Rich will miss paintball, softball, golf and any other idea Keith had to get everyone together to do something fun. We will both miss just knowing that he is around.

My heart goes out to everyone that is hurting so much but please know that this special friend has made a difference in a lot our lives that will never be forgotton as long as we have the stories and we are able to share them. I pray that all the fabulous stories continue so Nathan will have all the great memories of his dad, that unfortunately was taken from him way too soon.

Keith was the glue that kept all of his friends together and doing things, I guess you could call him a cruise director of sorts. I can only hope that someone will take the reigns and keep the ball rolling. Keith would want all of you to continue hanging out together, playing golf, playing cards, snowmobiling, and planning the next paintball session for September. It will be hard to do these without Keith but I can guarantee that the stories that come out about him will bring smiles to all of your faces.

Kelly I am right down the road if there is anything you or Nathan need you can count on me.

Love to you all,

Donna & Rich Clark

Dear Keith,

I miss you so much that sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. You were such am important part of so many lives that it is difficult to imagine life without you. I will miss your wake up calls on Saturday mornings. Vacationing with you in Florida, and camping with you in Maine. Who is going to come to my rescue and fix whatever I screwed up at the house before Phil comes home. You always made me feel so safe here while Phil was away at work. I will miss so many things about you Keith but most of all your unconditional "Friendship"

Kelly I will be here to do everything in my power to help you through this. We love you and Nathan so much there isn't anything we wouldn't do for you.

Keith was a wonderful man.

Our lives were enriched just by knowing him.

Love Always,

Shawna

Dear Keith,

I will never forget all those fun times we had together when we were young. You were always so much of a tease and a prankster, but i loved it. And i always looked up to you as my "cool " big cousin. You could always make me laugh, and your smile was the happiest i'd ever seen. Although i didn't get to see you as often,when we grew older and began families of our own,I'll never forget how special you were, and i'll always hold a place for you in my heart.

My deepest condolences go out to those who were so close to you- Kelly and Nathan, Uncle Mickey and Aunt Elsa, your sister Kelly and your close friends. We will miss you terribly....

Dear Kelly, Nathan and the Sullivan Family,

I'm still at a loss for words, but I just wanted to say what a great husband, father and friend Keith was.He never had a cruel word to say to anyone and he was always there to lend a helping hand at the drop of a hat. Chris has always looked at Keith as his "best buddie", and a wonderful role model.

Keith, we're gonna miss you so much, but we will never forget you. Kelly...Be strong sweetie and always remember you have lots of friends.

To the entire Sullivan Family,

We remember with smiles the times Keith came to our house while our daughters, Laurie and Tammy, were growing up. He was always so cheerful and full of compliments. They were a terrific group of children who will now, more than ever, need to comfort each other.

We are truly so sorry for your loss.

I apologize if this is lengthy but I need to get some things on here that I wish I was strong enough to say on Friday. The past 3 days have been the hardest because the last 27 years have been so wonderful. From when you came to my house when I was a pre-teen to when you would pick me up to ride around with you in the dump truck for Uncle Ron and then working with you to just a few days ago when you gave me a "Survival Pack" X-mas present.

We are all going to miss the little things you did that made our lives a little bit happier if even for only a little while. Whether it was that grin or prank or "Chipmunk dance" you did when the time was right, a game of golf or tennis, shooting whoever you could in paintball, along with cards with whoever showed up and many many more. You helped every person you ever met and managed to live your life to the fullest. I have a million stories that I could tell but there is no need now as I will be talking about how wonderful you are for the rest of my life.

I make a promise to you that Nathan, your handsome son, and Kelly, your beautiful wife, will always be taken care of by me personally if need be or by the hundreds of people that you came in contact with and who loved you.

Uncle Mick and Aunt Elsa, we will be truly committed to you as an army of loyal true believers and admirers of the joy you brought to us all when Keith was born.

Kelly M., we love you and will be there for you whenever you need to talk.

We as a family need to know that this will only bring us together even more, if that is possible, and as a group we can survive anything.

Keith, you were to be the Best-man of me and Erika's wedding in May and nothing has changed. You are not only the Bestman of my wedding, but also the Bestman of our lives and somebody we all can learn from. I love you as we all do and you will always be in our hearts.

I miss you.....

Dear Kelly,

How time has passed! Im so sorry about all of this. Sometimes it seems like yesterday that I was a new Mom, when Andy died. This just brings back those momories, now I know how people around me must have felt. My family and friends were there, including most of the Sullivan family. Keep yours close by, though it may seem overwhelming, you will realize you couldn't have done it without them. I wish we had kept in contact with each other. Im sorry I never got to know you and Keith as a family.

To You and Nathan, My thoughts are with you. Im sorry.

To the Family, My Deepest Sympathy.

You are all in my thoughts.

My condolences go out to all the family, and also the friends of this great guy!
