Ethel, Patty, Barb, so sorry for your loss. Remember the great memories that you had with him. Ethel, it was Gods work that brought Dad (Lenny Kroupa) and Keith together twice right before they passed. It had been years since they saw each other and you and I finally after 45 minutes of them talking about old time, cars, the stuff all those guys did, back in the day. Listening to dad and him laugh so hard, which was great for both of them. I remember even though I’m the youngest, going on trips with you guys, going to your house and mom always making sure she sent you a Christmas card. Who would of known that those two wonderful, caring, loving men would pass just months apart. Someone brought them together one more time here on earth and im sure that “the gang” met him at the gates of heaven. Hugs, and special memories. Lisa Kroupa Panek

My aunt, June Johansen, went to high school with Keith, Wilson HS. I remember June's other friends, Kenny Charipar, Dick Stonjak (sp), Pat (?) Bys
and others who were in her group of friends. Keith also took June's son, Danny Ryan, "under his wing" when he was at the Police Department, as a mentor of sorts. I also remember that Keith lived across the street from Lincoln Elementary School. I am sorry for your loss. Carl Dye

Ethel, Patty and Barb,
You have our heart felt condolences, prayers and sympathy in your time of loss and sorrow. The 23rd Psalm says, "for You are with me" and He is with you now.
We in the Baker family always called him Keith so we didn't get confused about whether we were talking about him or his dad. It's a Baker trait to get confused like that, at least for me it is. Keith was my favorite first cousin. I remember when I was little I loved guns and when we visit you, Keith would show me his collection; I was in heaven. And of course was a policeman and that was one of the loftiest professions I could think of and still feel that way. Visiting with you all was great fun for me whether as a child or as an adult because their was always a lot to talk about. I really enjoyed the stories he told after he retired about bank security; I had done a few fraud investigations by then and it helped out.
I will not forget him as I have good memories from him.
Love always, Norlyn
Norlyn & Jan Baker
