Deepest sympathies Father Keith to your and your family in the passing of your beloved Dad. Praying for peace and comfort for you all during this difficult time of bereavement.

I am sorry for your families loss. You all are in my prays
We had our share of laughs together and you were always a good sport when the jokes were at your expense. Such as busting through the folding chair at Spring River and you had to wait for us to help up until we got a pic of you stuck in the broken chair lol. Now it is your time to rest but know your presence will be missed.
Sorry for the loss of your father. May he rest in peace.
