My sincere prayers and condolences to Keith's family. Keith I knew each other since West Junior High School and graduated from Palmer High School together. As most, we went our separate ways and then the love of auto sports and hot air ballooning brought us back together. I will always remember him for a good joke and bright smile. He taught so many people the art of being a good safety worker and having fun. He was loved by many and will always be in my heart. Karen Schneider
