R.i.p. Keith. You were a good person to me. He always had my back if there was anything going on. I can remember one day we cooked all day for a party and then tied 2 rafts together and just floated in the pool with a cool one after. We always had a saying when someone tried to be with the group…if they were not a nice person we would say “access denied”
