Keith and Rose were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. Its been a long time but I have never forgotten how much I loved them both.

Dear Paul and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. I always enjoyed talking to him and fondly remember the days our oldest daughter, Brittany, stayed with him and your Mom.
Much like the others on here have stated, I could always count on an "If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" whenever I asked him how he was doing. He had a love and zest for life that could be contagious.
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant you all a peace that surpasses all understanding.
As the Bible says in Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

Arthur on a lot of oxygen. Our prayers to Rose, see you soon brother Keith.

At Laserflex, Keith was know as "Pops". Pops was a great employee, co-worker and friend. His knowledge and wisdom was passed on to many who had the privilege to work with him. Even after his retirement he kept in touch to see how we were doing. I will always have a smile on my face and think of Keith fondly when I hear the phrase "any better and I could not stand it!"

Keith was such a blessing to everyone he met! I will never forget his smiling face and daily slogan, "Any better I couldn't stand it." He will be greatly missed by the staff here at PRO Physical Therapy. Prayers are with the family during this difficult time. May God Bless!!

Always a smiling face and a friendly manor, Keith was a friend to everyone in our facility. Every day he told me if he was any better he couldn't stand it. Today I know it's true, if he was any better he couldn't stand it. What could be better than walking with Jesus. We love you and miss you Keith and will hold your memory close in our hearts.
To the family, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of loss. Thank you for having shared Keith with us.

I enjoyed Keith so much. I wish I could have seen him once more. He was a blessing and had a great sense of humor. I will greatly miss "any better and I couldn't stand it." He loved his family very much and touched lives. The PRO family thought of him often and will miss his smile.

We have such fond memories of Keith when many years ago his grandson, Steven, and he went with us to Chapel Hill for a few UNC basketball games. He was a doting grandfather, and over the years we have commented on how much we enjoyed getting to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steven and all of the family at this sad time.

Gramps was truly a very special person! He was such a wonderful influence on our whole family! Gramps not only helped Granny rear countless number of children, he also set an example for all of us parents as well. He set the example of a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and friend. I will miss hearing him say "any better and I couldn't stand it" when asked how he is doing. Gramps, you will be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
