I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and strength in God’s promise to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. – Isaiah 25:8 Condolences
Just got back from Baltimore, couldn’t believe (didn’t want to believe) my friend had passed. I will miss the weekly calls that would last hours. He was smart, funny, and sometimes irritating, but after knowing him for so many years working with him at NNS and talking with him after I retired 10 years ago, I let it go. He was a good guy. Condolences to family & friends. Sorry little Jake will never know his grand dad.
So sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. He was genuine and always willing to help. Prayers of comfort from God for all of his family and friends.
