Keith, I'll never forget the days we spent wandering the halls of the old Edison Bldg to visit all our friends and to share a laugh or two. Ah, the privileges of youth... In so many ways, I am who I am because of knowing you. I couldn't thank you enough for the gift of your friendship. My prayer is that your family feel the loving arms of Our Lord wrapped around them now and always.
Peace brother.

Dear Baumgartner Family,
Keith was a great young man.
He and my nephew-Scott Wise- would babysit my (step)sons back in the late '70's and early '80's.
Sometimes,Linda would babysit my boys,too.
My sons always enjoyed having Keith and their cousin babysit.
My late husband,Don,always liked and admired Keith and so did I,he was kind and good-hearted.
I know Don greeted him in Heaven with a handshake and a joke.
May God console and comfort you during this difficult time.
Keith was a very special young man,may he rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Michaline ' Mickey' Largen and sons,Donny and Tim Largen

Keith,
I can't put into my own words the sorrow that I feel at the loss of my friend.
There is a line in the song "Jungleland" that, for the last 30 years, always makes me think of you. In it, Bruce Springsteen sings:
"Barefoot girls sittin' on the hood of a Dodge,
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft Summer rain."
It's what we were back then. It's how I will always fondly remember our younger days.
We shared our dreams. We shared our sorrows. Now, those of us left behind will grieve your passing.
I miss you.

Keith
You will truly be missed by many. I knew from the first time I meet you, that you were an outstanding person and later an outstanding co-worker and later realizing that we lived in the same community. God bless and Go rest my friend, until we meet again just not yet.
