He was still coaching the Ride Hard slow pitch softball team last summer, which he was so very proud of.

His favorite times at the lake involved making sand castles with the kids, riding the teeter totter with his daughter, playing catch with his sons, walks with the grandkids around the campground, skipping rock contests with the grandkid's, and competing with his granddaughters who could get the darkest tan.  As well as picking the glass out of the sand so no one would step on it.  Lastly he enjoyed the nightly campfires and camp chants, YELLOW BIRD!

My friend and our fellow 1966 classmate Bob Luther recalls playing Otter baseball with Keith. He added that they also were teammates on the 1963 Fergus Falls VFW baseball team.

You may recall that the high school baseball coach was John Hermes and Oats LeGrand coached the VFW team.

Also good memories of Keith from Dan Larson, FFHS Class of 1965, who also played Otter baseball with Keith.

Hopefully Keith will now be part of the "Field of Dreams" up in Heaven.
