Words can't express how I feel about the loss of Keith during heart surgery Wednesday afternoon. 💔 He was having surgery for an aortic aneurysm. He passed during the surgery...I have no idea...heart attack, it maybe ruptured, whatever it was, it doesn't change the result. As Mike Rieck wrote, Keith was so talented, friendly and helpful. We had so many great conversations and good times trackside racing. He had such a great sense of humor and his depth of knowledge, especially concerning our beloved SOHC 750's and general machinery was unparalleled in my book. He was so innovative and guys so often, me and Mike wanted to talk about the magic being created in his shop/museum, but were sworn to secrecy, lol. Keith has more bikes,parts, pieces, paraphernalia, books and stuff for CB750 SOHC bikes, it is practically indescribable....what he would have continued to achieve was going to be mind boggling. His dreams will live on...he wanted to build the quickest SOHC Automatic and was well on his way. He was supposed to be retired, but he had two 5 axis at his shop at home and did Formula 1 side work etc. He helped me with tech advice and work so often and it was hard to get him to accept anything financial for his services. Damn, I loved 😍 that man, he was so cool 😎. Keith, brother, RIP as I told Mike , I can hear him now ,ok ,Bill " I'm going let you get back to your rat killing" LMAO 🤣 I hope someday the Automatic engine Mike and I collaborated on, will go down the 1320 in his honor... I can't type anymore, I can't see the keyboard 😢 RIP Keith.
