My condolences to all of Keith's family and freinds :(

I will always cherish the memory of sitting next to Keith at dinner near Valdosta along with Mike and Jerry and others. I thought he was SOHC Royalty but he made me feel like one of the family. I hope that Mike and others will be able to carry on with his motor-works.

I haven't been on deck for awhile so this late news (to me) of Keith and Larry's passing is a real shock.
I got to know Keith a little better after he PM'd me about some of the mischief we got up to with our stroked SOHC engines down here and I soon realized we shared a similar dry sense of humor.   
He was particularly interested in our four dog heavy duty gear's and I volunteered to package a set up and send them over to him so he could scan them for one of his many projects. They where posted and duly returned within a matter of week's. I don't know if he got around to getting them cut but I hope they may have found their way into one of his project's.
I cannot presume to call Keith a close friend but I do feel his lose.
My condolences to Mike, Billy, his mate's and family.
