I was soo sad to hear of Keith's passing... I remember many years ago when I was having a rough time in my life, Keith took me under his wing and held me up for an entire summer. We bowled together and went to dirt track races all over the state. I am still so very thankful for that time. He will be missed.. Mike Jensen Michigan now (Carroll Iowa)
