I would like to share a memory of Keith when we were in grade school at Holy Rosary. I knew from the beginning that he would enter the police force you see he would walk me home after school and then he would talk to my dad who was on the police force all about being an officer. I am glad to see that his life dream he lived it first as an officer and then as a detective. He will be missed by many! My name was Kay Molinaro Gierl. My condolences to his family.
