Through most of his life, Keith lived in the Carmel area. He attended Carmel Reformed Church and enjoyed spending time with his family. After Keith was diagnosed with Huntingtons chorea he made his residence, for a number of years, at Plymouth Life Inc. of Le Mars. In his last years he became a resident of University Good Samaritan Center in Minneapolis where he received the special care he needed.
