Condolences
Keith was a great cousin. I greatly enjoyed our many phone conversations over these last few years. He will be missed.
I grew up living on Walnut Ave, a neighbor to Clint and Thelma. So sorry to hear of Keith's passing. Condolences to the family.
Keith and I were in the Trombone section of the MHS band back in the 1950’s. I also lived next door to his wife, Karen ( Mimi) so I knew them both very well. I was surprised and sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to the family.
