Keith was a gentle soul. He was the most unathletic kid I knew, the last kid picked when choosing up sides. Since his interests were not shared by most of his peers, I don’t remember him “hanging out” with anyone. He passed away at the young age of 31 in 1974, and no one has posted in his memory. Nor could I find an obituary. Even as a teen, he was lonely, and reading parts of his book were sad to read. His shyness and manner made many people uncomfortable. But I only know that when I needed help with my book project, particularly the binding, gluing and sewing, Keith was ready to help. Without a doubt he saved my book and did the artwork on the title page, laughing quietly about the humor and pretentiousness of my title. I remember thanking him over and over, but not forming a better or more lasting friendship. He was a good guy.

Keith was different from most but yet so interesting. I worked at his Mom's business after school. He would come in a visit til his Mom would find something for him to do. He was very sweet. For the life of me, I can't remember what type of business it was. I do remember that he was very concerned about Vietnam and the possibility of being drafted.
