Keith loved and was beloved by his family and friends and enjoyed special relationships with his four-legged friends, Lou and later Boots. He served in the United States Army from 1955 to 1958. He had a fondness for geography and worked various jobs around the United States before eventually settling on flooring installation from which he retired in the late 1980s.

His smile and the twinkle in his eyes could light up any room. His love for laughter was always shared with those around him. He went by many names such as Dad, Brother, Uncle, and Grandpa, but only one word describes him in every aspect . . . LOVED.
