Keith was part of the neighborhood gang on Chateau Court. Will forever remember sleigh riding from 9 AM to 9 PM back when Albany winters were cold and snowy for months. There were the pickup games of baseball and basketball and then hide and go seek. Keith was always the best athlete in the group. Was organized, polite, and smart. Had him earmarked for President of the USA. May he Rest In Peace and welcome us when we receive our call from the big guy upstairs. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kotecki clan.

Keith, listening to the Beatles White Album here at the beach with a fire. No we weren't close. But We've done this before. So strong, tough man. Successful. Great kids' now adults whom I haven't met. As I listen and watch this fire I'm thinking of you. Risk taker, successful man. Bless you Keith. Rodger Norwich 80.

Sending our prayers your way... I didn't know Keith too well at school, but he was always a great athlete - and as is mentioned "tough as nails". Keeping his memories close to your hearts, and he'll always be with you.

R.I.P.kieth. you will be heartily missed. I remember when I came to your house on the bus from st.pius. my mom didn't no where I was. She was mad but you wanted me to come to your house so I did.

Fond memories of Keith from 3rd grade on. Condolences to his family. A friend bumped into Keith a few years ago and they called me. It had been 40 years but it only took a minute for the laughs to start. God Bless
