We were sad to learn of Keith's passing. We knew him through his work and even though he was pressed for time, he would always stay and chat a bit with us before jumping in his truck and heading off on his next delivery. He was a great guy and gone far too soon. Our deepest condolences to his family. - Posted by: Dave and Belinda (Friends) on: Feb 15, 2014

Keith was a great friend. I remember when my car broke down and Chris was at the lake. I called him to come help me out and within 20 minutes he was there rescuing me. He helped me get my car to a shop so I didn't have to pay for a tow. Then he even drove me back to work after. No questions asked, he was just there ready to do what he could. A genuinely nice guy. He will be missed greatly but never forgotten. - Posted by: DeeDee Lemieux (Friend) on: Feb 15, 2014
