I worked with Keith since 1996 in Operations for 25 years until I retired in mid 2019. The majority of time we were on the same wonderful, hard- working “B” shift. He was the Boardman and then our Supervisor. You get to know about about a person when you see them that much. He was a fine, ethical fellow and great at what he did. He was excellent in his knowledge of the Plant and even greater at being a fine Man and friend. He had a sharp wit, dry humor. I’m smiling thinking about it! Great character. I was even fortunate to be his Boardman when he was my Supervisor. He was supportive, honest, hard- working and fair. You could tell him anything and trust him. He was respectful to all. We cooked a many time on our Shift and shared more than just work. It was a strong bond everyone had and you could feel it. We even worked with Corey as our I & E tech. As fine a fellow as his Dad. When speaking on the phone times with Mindy, the same good, warm feeling. That’s a testamony about who Keith was. Keith is in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and my prayers and thoughts are for the Family and friends. If we all could take an example of everything Keith did and how he lived and pass it around it would be an impact that would improve so many lives. Keith was like a older brother in ways. Gosh, all who met him and worked with knows what I mean. Keith will leave a lasting impact on us all. A blessing the day I was fortunate to meet him . I love you Keith and am a better person for having you in my life.
