Keith, Peter, and Lisa

From Peter:

Keith loved his three piece suit and razzed me often when we had to get dressed up for temple about how cool his suit was compared to mine. As you can also see Keith was physically a tall kid for his age, he was about 14 in this photo. I think in sixth grade he was the biggest kid in his class at 5'8 and well filled out. This was one of the reasons he was a tremendous athlete through little league and then into high school sports. Fortunately for Keith by the time everyone caught up and many got bigger, his interest in organized sports compared to art was waning. I certainly had much to look up to in my younger years. Because I played the same sports as Keith, the coaches and everyone else referred to me as Keith's little brother.

Keith, Peter, and their Grandmother

From Peter:

I think Keith was about 16 in this photo. Our Grandmother was dear to both of us. Keith got a job in the nursing home she lived in as a cook. I think he did it to be close to her. My grandmother was an important part of both of our lives.

Keith, Peter, and Napoleon

From Peter:

This was taken at the Griffith park observatory. Keith and I played tennis earlier that day and then took Napoleon to one of his favorite dog parks. So much of his life revolved around his little guy. As usual Napoleon would only give his back side for a group photo. He liked to be the center of attention, that is why there are so many solo shots of him. He loved the dog more than I thought possible considering the temperament but in his last days Napoleon stayed with me. I was glad Keith did not have to see him in his last moments and had visited a month prior when the little guy was still looking good.

Keith Relaxing

From Peter:

Alex gave me this photo he had taken of Keith. I held it through the services and at the cemetery. When I look at it I feel like he is ready to listen to whatever I have to say. I have it in a special place where I spend a few minutes a day talking to him. Alex and Keith were as close as brothers. He cherished all of his friends greatly and was always happy to include his little brother in their activities. Thank you so much Alex, this is one of my favorite photos.

Keith and Peter

From Peter:

I believe this was the second place Josie and Keith lived before buying a house. It was a great apartment in Beverly Hills but the neighbors upstairs were very loud. Keith would call me often to say "dude I can hear them fooling around above us like they are in the same room, and she is loud." When I was visiting he and I spent sometime deciding how to confront them. Ultimately they moved and bought a beautiful home in the hills.

Keith on the Beach

From Peter Freedman:

Keith and I were beach kids growing up. Whenever the weather was right we would go boogy boarding or body surfing in Malibu. Back home when he was on summer vacation from college he was a lifeguard for a few summers. Keith was a great swimmer and loved to play in the water. Sometimes we went down to Manhattan beach to catch some good waves and hang out, we always had a lot of fun.

Toad Hall

This was a pic I took of Keith at Toad Hall in SoHo. I think he was screwing around with his mobile phone. It was midday; we were having beers and trying to stay out of the heat.
