So sorry to hear of your loss. He looks very handsome in the photo. Randy Janes
I knew Keith for a good many years. My late husband and I thought the world of him. Loved it when he got that smile on his face because you always knew there would be a laugh or giggle coming next.

To Keith Jr & Cynthia and their families,We were so sorry to hear that Keith Sr. had passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with your families. The last time we seen Keith was at the family reunions many, many years ago. Except for Aunt Helen B., now the cousins have become the elders. I so enjoyed the couple of phone calls I had with Keith Jr. a few years ago. The family just seems to be dwindling way to fast. Due to health issues, I am not able to make it up for the services but will be thinking about you all.Love to you all. from your cousin,Sheila Schilling
I met Keith when I was 28 years old and he taught me how to play pool and we became very close. I can not tell you the wisdom this man had. He was a perfectionist at everything he done. He was set in his ways but all around great guy. I was very lucky to spend the time I did with him and get him to do things he would have never done. We would go camping. He had never been to Six flags and took his grand-kids and our niece Kristen. He would ride on anything. I would not go on a lot of stuff he went on. I am glad that you were a part of my life. Glad I was able to come see you on Friday before you went home. Elizabeth said you made the best Strawberry Milk and Grilled Cheese with Bacon on it in the whole world. I am glad I brought Aurora to see you. You sure have a great smile. You will be missed. Love Always Carolyn
When I first purchased my home, there was a water leak around the chimney and Uncle Keith came by and fixed the pieces of drywall around it. At the same time, I was hanging a ceiling fan. He had been by that day and turned the electricity back on apparently… Because I got the shock of my life when I attempted to put the switch back on. I learned a lot about respect from him and will always be grateful. "Aim for the Center of the Pocket" he would always say…as if that was not what I was trying to do…. Godspeed Uncle Keith…. We will miss you! Fair Winds and Following Seas .. Greg
