    My deepest condolences as my heart breaks for your parents & family. Keith was a school friend. In recent years, I often ran into him, early in the morning getting coffee. Even at that early hour…he always flashed that smile…and we’d quickly catch up on life. Rest in Peace KK ❤️ you will be dearly missed.
