I am so sorry to learn of Keith's passing. He lived a few doors down from me when we were very young. I remember learning together how to ride a bike without training wheels in my parent's back driveway. We remained friends through High School and graduated together. I am heart-broken over his being lost so early in life. Keith I will always remember our fun times together.
