Keith was a committed member of our many golf groups at Evergreen – the Lopez Group, the AA Group and the Retired Men’s Group! He played with us for 4+ years and this year his golf schedule was take Monday off and play the other six days of the week!! He loved to golf. Like each of our group members, Keith had his unique personality traits worthy of mention. He had nicknames such as Bagger 1 or 2 (i.e., low scores with a high handicap) and Lotus 1-2-3 (he would take two practice swings and hit the ball on the third swing). Unlike many in our group he rarely had any club tosses – his most expressive outburst would be yelling at the ball “You Communist B...h” if he had a bad hit. We did have to help him a little from time to time – for some reason he had a tough time teeing his golf ball behind the tee markers and sometimes he lost count of how many strokes he had taken on a given hole. For sure he disliked bunkers and before he got his new Thomas clubs he usually used his putter to exit bunkers or make 30+ yard approach shots. Keith could score over 100 or in the low 80s while maintaining the same cool temperament – a trait not typical of all golfers. For sure Keith never gave up – he was always ready to play again and do his best. In addition to being a dedicated golfer, you soon understood Keith to be a devoted husband and father. He was very proud of Barb’s professional accomplishments, the successes of his sons and stepsons and his bountiful joy of the grandkids. I and the regular group members will sorely miss Keith. But the memories he has left with us will be present forever and certainly his name will be mentioned many times in the years to come. Rest in Peace Keith and know your golf buddies will dearly miss you. We will have prayers for Barb and all his family members.
