Dear David and Glenn, my heartfelt condolences on your unexpected loss. I’ll remember many fond memories of your Brother from high school. I was one year ahead of Keith. We laughed so often, always putting a smile on many faces. I wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Keith and I have been friends for 34 years. He was so good about keeping in touch. He preferred to talk on the phone or in person. He did not love texting. Keith grew into a very kind, encouraging and caring person. He had a positive attitude and faced challenges head on, chin up. He had many friends and cherished his family and church. He loved his community at The Union Club and the Anthenaeum. I will miss him terribly. To his family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. He was so proud of all of you.

I worked with Keith for many years at American Alarm. He was always the first to take up a collection for someone in need, or organize group lunches so everyone could socialize away from the office. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones on your loss. He will be greatly missed.
