So sorry to hear about Keith passing. I have so many great memories golfing with Keith at Mohican for over 30 years.
He was a great player and so much fun to be around.
Sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. His mother was my baby sitter early in my life while living in West Salem. Spent many hours on the golf course with Keith and have some memorable memories of our time together. He will be missed, may he RIP
I’m so very sorry for your heartache but I know you take comfort knowing that Keith is now resting in the arms of Jesus. I will be praying that God will give you great strength.
Condolences to the family and many thanks for his service to our country.
I’m very sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. My family attended Parkview for many years and I grew up in that church. I’ll always remember Keith as a deacon at church. He was in charge of getting servers lined up for communion and offering. Every time I walked in and he saw me, he’d point to me and ask, “Can you serve?” I never turned him down. I learned from him that it was an honor to serve in the local church and no job was beneath anyone. Now that I’m a deacon at the church I attend, I always think of him when I have to line up people to serve.
Mrs. Dreibelbis, my sincerest condolences for the loss of your husband and sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Joyce Ann,
We are saddened to hear about the passing of Keith. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
The Beckler Family
