Eugene groesbeck I work to him when I worked with Frank Shaw Morningstar septic system he’s a good friend I can’t believe he’s gone
I was very sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. I knew Keith when he was a student at Harrison Elementary. I was so impressed with this young man who always worked so hard, all of the time. I remember so many teachers telling me that if every one of their students were like Keith, they would have the easiest year of all time as he would just do whatever you asked him. I know that the world is a less happy place because he’s no longer in it.
