I sure miss my friend Keith. We used to have the most curious conversations.

We don't get many friends like Keith. A friendship that lasts a lifetime through thick and thin, no matter what. Keith and I were friends over 50 years and the memories are some of my most valued possessions. His entire family treated me as though I was one of their own and as I grew to know them I understood why I liked Keith so much. But Keith was a little different as he would ask the most difficult questions most of us never took the time to ponder why. I can only hope to walk through the gates of heaven and see my old friend there with his big wide open eyes saying, Ed do I have something to tell you.

I moved from the area several years ago. I just now came across this obit as I was trying to find old friends. I'm devastated to learn that Keith passed away. He was a beautiful soul.
