A life well lived. A man who cared about people. Keith was so willing to help anyone that needed his expertise. During his visits here in Fl we had great times. Different things around the house he and Ted built. One visit Jim was here and they put him to work installing a front walk, boy that was omething! Each knew how it should be done🙄 At his last visit he said there were things he should have done differently. That is something we all feel looking back on our lives. We loved him.

I met Keith through my Step Dad Chris Josheff as they both worked at the Post Office. Keith came over several times to help me with projects around the house that I had no idea how to do. He was a great guy!! Loved his laugh and his attitude. The world has lost a very nice man.
