I'd like to send my condolences to the family of Mr. Simonis. I did not know him very well, but I certainly developed some rapport with Keith in the past 2 years. As the community maintenance man I had opportunities to stop by his residence and provide services as needed. I've always been fascinated with learning things about people, especially from my elders. Once I took the time to get to know Keith I realized that he was a man who valued his experiences and cherished his memories. Although Keith seemed like a grumpy old man at times, I felt he was genuine and enjoyed my company and the many conversations we shared. My father also served in Vietnam and unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to really appreciate his service to our country. Sure enough, Keith and my father were similar in several ways. I definitely had a great deal of respect for the guy and I'm glad to have met him. Rest peacefully Mr. Simonis. God bless you and your family Sir.

My condolences to the family of Keith. I worked with him at Bayside Hospital and remember Keith as a very caring person and always having concern for his patients and the staff. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

Keith, I will cherish all the good times we had. Especially when you earned the nickname “Deerslayer 1”

I have known Keith since 1987. We were in the Army together. So sorry we lost touch.

For my big brother Keith whom I loved dearly although I did not show enough.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
