Mr. Keen was a wonderful person. He rented a house to our family years ago and we always enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to his stories. He started out as our landlord, but became our friend. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I worked with Billy at both Larsen and McIntosh
plants in the early 70's. He was a good man and well liked. Sorry to hear of his passing, my prayers go to the family.
