To Carolyn and Family, I extend my prayers and condolences. Keith and my father served together during WWII in the 33rd Division. One of my dad's most enjoyable moments in life was the day he reconnected with Keith some 57 years after they left the army. To all of you who will miss him, I ask Our Father in heaven to send his gift of peace.
