Saddened to read of Keith’s passing. Spent more than my share of time sitting beside Keith in classes at AWHS. Charming, funny, and really sharp. Remember him getting me in trouble with the nuns, but escaping their wrath himself and giggling about it uncontrollably. Time collapses a bit when you get news like this about an old friend. Our condolences to you and your family. R.I.P Keith, and say hello to Sticky, Namu, Janeen, and the rest of the Archies gang.
Forever mister AWHS
You will be missed
Thought s and prayers to your beautiful family
Lydia: I wish there was more I could do to help take away the sorrow & pain. Just saying “I’m sorry for your loss” seems so little. I offer a shoulder for you to cry on if you need it or a patient ear if you need that as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you thru this difficult time. It’s the best a friend can do for a friend. You’re in my prayers.
Dear Gary,
Sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family.
