RIP Keith, sorry to have read the news...I worked with you and enjoyed you on the Block 60 program. Never got to work with you on AMSAT or any of the Sats, but you were a key figure. Rest easy now Keith...will miss you...
Just heard about this from Bruce Richardson.
Keith was one of the nicest and highly
involved Hams I knew. His contributions are
countless. RIP my friend. Fort Worth has lost
a very special person.
One of the GREAT ONES of Amateur Radio! I've known Keith for over 27 years and he was a great mentor and friend. I've worked with Keith personally helping set up communications for events such as the Cowtown Marathon, March of Dimes, Bike to the Brazos just to mention a few. My wife cleaned his house for him for 20+ years as well.
Rest Well my friend -- Keith W5IU You WILL BE MISSED.
Keith was a true gentleman.
He always had time for anyone who wanted to interact with
him. His exploits in AMSAT were well known. He was an
accomplished VHF/UHF operator and certainly distinguished
himself in those circles. Keith was a man of faith whose
character was evident in everything in which he was involved.
Thank you Keith for making the world a better place because
of your life.
I first met Keith on the air in late 80's. He and I both were satellite users. I got started on the birds when AO-13 was launched. I really liked using AO-10, and AO-13. Enjoyed chats with Keith at the various ham show meetings.
RIP my friend.
