Keith liked to go to Tim's for his morning coffee, that’s what he called it. Keith liked to go cut the grass and shovel snow, and sometimes people got Keith to help them out, and he would say, “I’d be glad to help you, and clean out your driveway when it needs to be done.” Keith liked to go on walks and ride his bike.
