I am truly saddened to see that such a good friend has passed away. Keith was an outstanding young man, full of resolve, brilliance and gentle strength. From the summer after 6th grade to graduating at S.C.R.S.S. I was lucky to know and share friendship with a small band of childhood brothers, all perhaps first bound by a genuine and lifelong love of classic rock. Mark Z. and Alex F. and I were blessed to know him. I'm sorry this is late in coming but am glad to have found you. R.I.P. my friend. - Posted by: Tom Brown (Friend) on: Jul 18, 2019

Keith was a key part of our team. His commitment to politics and its potential to improve people's lives was second to none. He was also a good person. Always friendly. Always positive. He will be missed. - Posted by: Steve Ashton (Coworker) on: Apr 11, 2014

I only knew Keith for a few years, but he was always happy and willing to chat and share his years of experience and advice. I will miss his smile and the talks, we shared over coffee, about the Bombers. - Posted by: dave Gaudreau (coworker) on: Apr 09, 2014

Keith was an amazing guy. Loyal, hard working, dedicated and a true friend to all who knew him. In all the conversations we had over my 10 years working with him I cannot recall him having a bad word about anyone. He will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Michael Balagus (Friend and co-worker) on: Apr 08, 2014

I had the pleasure of working with Keith for many years. He was always willing to assist everyone, offer advice, and knew not just the technical aspect of the job but the real world and political aspect of his work. He was also always very positive in his approach and always had a smile. - Posted by: Jim Rondeau (Coworker) on: Apr 07, 2014
