Even though I was never acknowledged as his daughter, he was still my biological father. My thoughts and prayers are with all his children.

Barb and family,
I was sorry to hear of Keith's death. I always enjoyed chatting with him when out paths crossed -- usually when I was mowing the yard or shoveling the snow. You are in my thoughts. Grace and peace to you.

Kieth and I worked for Ringland Johnson Crowley Construction together. He worked for me on several projects. He was a very good craftsman. I always enjoyed having him on my projects.We also would get to square dance with Kieth and Barb when the Wintersets would visit their club. Wanda and I are so sorry for your loss.

We value so many fond memories of the square dances we shared with both of you, as Buckles & Bows. Also the square dance dinners. Keith was a very talented carpenter. Will miss him greatly.
