Sending my condolences to Karen and family of Keith. Keith was so amazing and such a great man. I met Keith like a lot of people at Diablo Canyon - and on the Golf Course! Whenever you saw him he was the sweetest soul happy to see you and never forgot a name...I am truly sorry for the loss of Keith and so glad I was able to call him my friend.

We meet your dad for the first time in Houston on his vacation trip. Then we all shared a steak dinner with family on our vacation not long after that. He will be missed but always in our hearts.

I only had a chance to meet Keith once through my dear friend Karen and and it felt like I knew him all my life. What an amazing person and was so good to his family and friends along with the best thing that was in Karen's life. What an opportunity for me to meet a man that was so dear and you could see his love through those beautiful blue eyes. May you rest in peace and prayers and thoughts to everyone who loved him.
