I have many fond memories of him during the time he dated my sister. I thought he was so fine; in fact he took me for a root beer at the old "A&W." I thought I was just the best thing ever. I have forwarded the obituary to my other brothers and sisters. I know they were equally fond of Keith. Our heartfelt sympathy is with you during this trying time. Merlin & Therel Frei elderfrei@msn.com Dear Sister Standley and Family, We are greatly saddened by the death of your dear husband and father. We grew to love and respect him as we served together, as officiators, in the Temple. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Love, Merlin and Therel Frei Linda Nebeker lindanebeker@cableone.net My heart is saddened at your loss of Keith's companionship at this time. Keith is a good man, and he touched the lives of all our family. I struggle to find words that will give comfort to you. All I know is that Keith is not lost, he is very much alive, just not here with us. The family can be together forever. Easter is a time to celebrate the gift of resurrection, a marvelous promise to us all. Consider the love that our Father-in-Heaven has for us that he gave his Only Begotten Son, and then the love that Son, Jesus Christ has that he gave up his life to make it possible for all of us to return home one day. We love an appreciate all of you, and we mourn with you. Linda Nebeker Wendy Morgan yorkyhouse@aol.com My sincere condolences go out to the family.
