Dear Patsy and family,

I remember so many good times riding with you with the Carolina Cyclers. The wonderful bread you baked and brought to the meetings was some of the best I ever had. Keith was a wonderful man and he will be missed. All my love,

Florrie Graham Bradley

Mrs. Patsy and Family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Keith. He was such a wonderful person who loved his God, church, family and country! Each time I saw him, we would laugh about the time he went with the youth group on a mountain hike. He had more energy than any of us...but that was just the way he was. He will be missed. You all are in my prayers.

To the whole family:

I have known Mr. Keith for a very long time. He and my dad worked at the highway department together. Then when Casey joined scouts he was always there to lend a hand. He was a wonderful, sweet person. Always looked when I saw someone riding a bike to see if it was him. Please know that I will be praying for you all during this hard time.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mr. Keith. I always enjoyed seeing him on the bicycle peddling away in any kind of weather or riding with Ms. Patsy on the tandem bike. What a joy he always seemed to have. I also appreciate his service to our country through the US Navy. He always had a great positive attitude and had many nice things to say.

I deeply regret that I did not pay my respects in person due to professional obligations. I hope you understand and will know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Lee Foster, Sheriff
