I first met Keith when we were 6th grade basketball players having joint practices, Keith from Lincoln and I from Jackson grade school. It was a real pleasure to watch Keith play and grow as a really good ball player through his senior year of high school. He was a good friend and someone I always held in high regard. Ken Campbell

My mom lives in Highgate Senior Living Community and I met Keith there on my visits. I enjoyed chatting with him and I will miss Keith in his usual chair, greeting me. My condolences to his family.
