Rest in peace good friend. Wish we could have been at your funeral but we just learned of your passing and we live far away. I (Bob) remember our days cleaning strawberry plants at Lewis’s Farm the same year President Kennedy was assassinated. You were the best worker in the barn cleaning more than 1000 plants per hour and making in excess of $3.00/hour on piece work. A lot of money for the day. I remember our days golfing with my father and brothers. I remember our days skiing. You were a dare devil and a darn good skier. I remember the day you decided to try the BIG ski jump at Gunstock. Talk about the agony of defeat!!!! I thought you were dead after you tumbled to the bottom. I remember the day you rescued 4 guys whose car crashed into the Bay State gas station near Bee’s Sandwich shop in Methuen and exploded. You told me we can’t just watch them burn and ran into the blazing building not once but four times!!!!! A true hero. I remember your pool dives from the 3 meter board at the Lowell Tech swimming pool. You were very good. I remember your cliff dives from the quarries in Manchester, NH which were 60 – 80 feet high. Most jumped. You dove and did flips!!!! I remember your 40 foot cliff dives on the Swift River at Coos Canyon in Maine. Everyone there was in awe. Diane and I remember our double dates, our many trips to the dog tracks where you were always a winner. We remember our roller skating double dates. You even roller skated from Lowell to Nashua to visit us once. We remember our many party days where you kept everyone laughing. You were our best man at our wedding. Our lives took us in different directions over 40 years ago and we lost contact. We pray you are at peace in heaven.

Uncle Keith,
You will always have a special place in my life. Growing up you gave me memories of nothing but fun, laughter and good times. You always made time to hangout and spend time with us. Weather it be telling jokes around the kitchen table or playing video games till all hours of the night. Thank you for being a part of my life and I'm proud that I share more than just my last name with you. Rest in peace. I take comfort knowing your with Meme and Pepe.
Uncle Keith,
