Keith loved his beautiful homeland of Washington and most especially his weekly drive around the island . He had a great memory of the days growing up on the island and loved being a tour guide. His passion was working on his antique cars and creating things out of wood and metal. Keith was also known for never passing up a garage sale!

Keith will be remembered for his dry sense of humor and his devotion to family and friends. He was always ready to help others and will be forever remembered for his devotion. Most especially, his wife will remember her hero and his loving and compassionate care.
