My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Keith and I were coworkers at TDS and I. He always had a big smile and was such a dedicated employee. I will always remember some of his work stories. We enjoyed him at work a lot. May God be with you and your family during this time and may you find comfort in his words. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting lifeâ€
