"I have never worked with someone who I enjoyed seeing everyday. He always saw the light of things and tried not to stress the team out on projects.
"One particular story that I will always cherish is when we both interviewed this recent graduate student for a junior position. The interviewee was a young guy who had this fabulous printed book and had no web experience. Keith asked him what he wanted to do in the design industry. The young guy was unsure. Then Keith pretty much laid out two choices: it was either print or the web. The way Keith explained it to him was hilarious yet very fatherly. The young guy had to make a choice if he wanted to work at razorfish and he wouldn't be able to do both. Needless to say, the next day and week thereafter, the young guy kept calling Keith saying that he wanted to do web. But because he called too much, it scared both of us off so we didn't hire him.
"Another one was when we teased him for getting Susan medical books for Christmas. We (meaning the design group) told him that he had to get more than books for her if he wanted to be romantic.
"These moments and so many others will always bring a smile when I think of him.
"He is one of the rare people I'll ever meet who was carefree, smart, grounded and who wore red tennis shoes and who was great at word games."
