To the family my deepest sympathies. Keith Jr I want to tell you how proud of you I was but especially your parents were. As your baseball coach one of the most rewarding feelings is watching the faces of the parents when they see you do well. Your Dad was your very first coach and the best coach you ever had. He was a good man. Thank you.
