I worked with Keith for almost 30 years at the Garfield Smelter, beginning with our assignment on the night shifts, through his position of Shop Supervisor. I have seldom known individuals as knowledgable and dedicated to their work. He could be counted on to help me, and all others, and was a Master craftsman himself. With all others, I will greatly miss him.

Keith was a wonderful man and I've fond memories of his smile and laughter. I was fortunate to spend time with he and wife Jerry at Bonnie's wedding to Jim and know he was so proud of his daughter and loved his family immensely. God Bless you, Keith. May the Light shine upon you.

We love you very much. You were a wonderful grandfather to all of us. We enjoyed spending time with you. You taught us about the "good old days" and we enjoyed all the stories. Being with you, was always a joy. Anytime we see a peppermint, we will think of you.
