Keith was one of the best friends I have ever known. We remained close even after high school. We went camping, fishing, boating, waterskiiing, hunting, and motorcycling together on many occasions over the years. When I bought my first motorcycle, Keith rode it to the DMV office for me in 30 degree weather, so I could get my motorcycle license. We used to go cruising Patton Avenue in my old Camaro Z-28, when we were still young and single (and happy!). I was best man in his first wedding.I was terribly shocked when I found out that he had died in an accident. His wife, Lynn, honored me by asking me to serve as pallbearer at his funeral.
I still miss you Keith! But I will see you again in heaven.
