I will always remember Keith giving us a big hug and hello every time we saw him when we visited him at the families house. When we slept over he would give up his room and clear out his collection of snakes and other of his live pets because I was afraid to sleep in the same room with them.
I've been thinking about all the fun things we did in our childhood... playing whiffle ball, football, catching salamanders and mucking around in the frog pond looking for bullfrogs and turtles. We played cowboys and Indians with real toy guns and beat one another up playing "ghost" upstairs in my mother's house. We always had a lot of fun, and I'll never forget that . Kieth passed away on the anniversary of his grandfather's death. I think my father was there to lead Kieth on his path to life in the hereafter. I'm sure he is celebrating with his dad and grandfathers, drinking a toast to all of us.
