So very sorry to hear about”Keithie” I enjoyed working with him at Mountain Bell. He was a very caring, gracious and fun person. My sons always enjoyed stopping by your home. We miss all the beautiful mountain photos. With love, Rosie Potter and family
Lucy, my mother does not get on the computer, but she sends her deepest sympathies on the passing of Keith. He was a great friend to my dad, and we always looked forward to the wonderful photos on the Christmas cards every year.

Lucy, I am so sorry for your loss. Keith was a great man with a smile and giggle that will be long remembered on our many adventures in Colorado. He was always ready for an adventure! We will keep you in our prayers and will see you in June.
Lucy, I was very sad to hear of Keith’s passing. I have very fond memories of you both when you would come to exercise at the Southern Colorado clinic physical therapy department. I remember how happy you two were as you would walk into the office and be just as happy when you left. I’ll always remember Keith with that happy smile. You have my prayers and my deepest condolences. Vivian Salazar – Former receptionist at Southern Colorado Clinic PT dept.

Lucy,
I’ll never forget Keithy-Weithy! He was a very sweet and quiet man. I loved the way he said “Pee-eb-lo” and his laugh. I so enjoyed our trips to the mountains and his knowledge of Colorado. I have such fond memories of times spent with you and Aunt Pat.
Love and prayers are with you,
Sherry
