Keith proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1966-1970.

He also worked part-time at the Country Club of Rochester as a groundskeeper and the Town of Greece maintenance department. Shortly after Carol's passing, Keith returned home to Iowa.

Keith enjoyed tinkering and fixing things and doing home repair and lawn care. Keith was your modern-day MacGyver – he could tweak anything to and make it work better – he was not afraid to dive in to make anything work.
