May God continue to rely on Keith's gifts. He was a blessing to North Division High School and mentored many of the students who wanted to pursue careers in the radio industry. Many were honored to have his tutelage. The work he did continues to speak for him and he was a New Testament Church brother as well He is an honorary Blue Devil.

Tears can not express the loss I feel, and I know that Keith is missed by all who knew him. When I think of Keith, I see a wonderful smile, hear this big booming voice talking generally about a very intellectual subject, and someone who was interested in making a change in civil and human rights. My friendship with Keith goes back to shortly after he moved to Milwaukee from Washington, D.C. and he adopted me as his "sis". He met all my friends and became their friends. We had pot luck dinners, bar-be-ques in my back yard, and hung out with Keith at his house on the small lake. And I can't forget the fabulous Halloween Party he threw one year. What fun we had. How close we all were. I still use the scarf he gave me for Christmas one year.
In the last several years, I would only see Keith when I came to town occasionally. We would get together for breakfast or lunch, and just enjoy talking about what was happening in each others' lives. I did not realize then how precious those moments would be in my memory of Keith.
I extend my condolences to his son, and other family members. I am so sorry for your loss, and will keep you all in my prayers. God bless you and be with you during this difficult time.
