I am so sorry to hear about Keith. I am one (of many) Live Oak friends. Probably havent seen Keith in 25+ years but ALL of my memories are of his great hair and sweet smile. He was sincerely a great young man and it seems that he grew to be a great man of God and Family. Blessings to his wife and children and all of your family!
