Keithie,
As he told me no one gets to call him that, but me! We met at "Woodlake" as he admitted to our short term rehab unit. It was however a package deal, as that admission included his small but mighty protector, his sister Karen! Keithie was cranky, picky, and absolutely adorable. I remember the first time he had to go out to the hospital, as his labs were off, and he was sick! The ambulance arrives, they put Keithie on the gurney, and he flat out refuses to go.......why...bc its lunchtime. As I quickly learned he was very regimented in his routine and would not budge. I quickly got him a sandwich, some snacks and a drink, and happily (kinda) he went on his way!! :) keithie loved rehab, and over time he was loved with his idiosyncrasies and became.... "A Celebrity, a meteorologist, (who gave me weather alerts) a model, (as he posed for many picks with Sara, social work, and Anna careplan nurse) and then a photographer!!
Sara and Anna ,would often walk with Keithie outside, and drop him at rehab to visit with me @ 2:30 to keep me abreast of his daily issues.
i.e. booked transportation, was late for an out of the building appt. He needed to express, and have confirmed his frustrations!! God help me if he had to wait, in the event I had another patient or family member in my office!!!
Sara and Anna, went above and beyond for keithie every single day, out of a love for him! He had high values and morales and expected such from others, as he should!
Christina, his APRN had multiple visits with keithie weekly, as he wanted to keep her aware of any symptoms he may be having!
Keithie had a tight schedule with activities department led by Brenda and her team, who led challenging and engaging activities for the building. Friday's Keithie was not available to visit or talk as he was filling out his meal selections for the upcoming week. Keithie also had quite a social schedule out of the building with mostly and always Women!! :)
He didnt want any of us to be jealous, but we all expressed it !!!
Miss You Buddie xoxo
Keith was special. I’ve been bowling 28 or so years and Keith wished me good luck every Thursday. Before Brian Moran passed, he jokingly would insult my bowling and Keith would report the remarks to me. After that Paul took up the job. It was all done in good fun.
He will surely be missed. And without his good luck wishes, my bowling scores will probably plummet!
we love you, Keith.🙏❤️

Keith also loved having happy hours a few times a year where active and retired DSS workers got together with him.
Tina and I took him out for lunch a few times while he was living at Woodlake.
