Heartfelt sympathy, caring thoughts, prayers. A wonderful man in so many wonderful ways. Wishing the family: a song in your hearts; a rainbow after the rain; sunshine after the clouds; cherished memories; peace.

Keith and I were classmates at St Louis College of Pharmacy. Both being Springfield pharmacists for over 40 years, we usually kept in touch through the ever ringing phones. Often we would remember as Freshmen, living in the same dorm, the news came of Johnson City Main Street was on fire. In minutes that dorm floor emptied with
Young men heading south to pitch in. His second love was pharmacy, Johnson City was number one.
Rest In Peace, Keith

My condolences to the family. I was very sorry to learn about Keith's passing. I played in the Spammy's golf league along with Keith. He was a good hearted man truly one of the really good guys in the league.
