His delightful sense of humor was evident as he and other CHS alumni and faculty joined in the 90th birthday celebration of fellow teacher Davalene Niehaus in the summer of 2003. According to his family, Keith "truly loved his "kids", treating them with respect and encouraging them to be the best they could be. He enjoyed following the careers of his students and athletes and took tremendous pride in their accomplishments."
