I knew Keith for several years, but only via the Internet. (Specifically, the Usenet newsgroup known as alt.fan.cecil-adams).



Keith was an intelligent, good natured and good humored man. I'll miss him.



I have no idea what happened to him, but may God bless him. My condolences to his friends and family.

I am deeply saddened for I will miss Keith. Since the time I met him in 7th grade he always kept me laughing. I will always remember the joyous times I spent with him and how fortunate I was to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I knew Keith only from an online discussion group, but it was obvious that he was a man of intelligence and good humor. His family and friends will miss him more than those of us on the 'net ever could, but the loss of someone with those qualities diminishes us all.



73, Keith.
