Keith is the brother I saw most frequently and 1 that also lived with our sister Kia at separate times (and hey they misspelled my last name's Knap {with 1 p})
I will always remember Kieth for his leadership in the New Haven community. His untimely passing is a great loss. My condolences go out to his friends and family, and to the organization, U-ACT, which Kieth spearheaded.
