    Carol and family, I have so many memories of our days with Keith, especially at trade shows! My favorite is my time early in the morning walking with Keith, especially in a Chicago when we ended up on the highway! Always makes me chuckle to think about! Keith was such a kind and overall wonderful man with a killer smile! His happiness always showed in that smile! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know you have many memories that will help sustain you through the time ahead. Much love to you all.

    Carol & Family, I drove past AUMC yesterday on my way to OPKS & noticed ALOT of cars in the parking lot & military personnel in the parking lot as well. When I had a moment, I texted Judy Foglio to find out what was happening. She texted me back that there was a funeral service for Keith. I’m so sorry & sad for all of you. I will remember his wonderful smile, even that time I saw you all at SLE when he & Tom were in the hospital at the same time on the same floor. He kept smiling…..Hugs to all of you as you learn to live without him in your lives. May your wonderful memories of love, life, laughter, comfort you.
    Love to all of you, Becca & Tom Thomas

    I was so saddened to hear of Keith’s passing. I loved him as a Christian brother & was one of my favorites to see his smiling face & always get a big hello every Sunday morning at Aldersgate. He will forever have a special place in my heart with fond memories.
