Dearest Renee and Family,I worked with Keith when I first came to Levi's and the friendship continued until you went to Brussels. We have so often thought of you both and wondered where you were. We were up in Calistoga yesterday, and I reflected on the time we tracked you down at breakfast and worked to evacuate your house because of a forest fire. Just yesterday, we talked about calling around to try to find you both. And today, I heard that he was gone. How sad we are to have missed this chance.While it's too late for us to be with Keith, but we would love to see you all. Please call or email when you feel like company. We don't want to miss this second chance with you.xo julie coplon and bob capan

To all the member of Keith's family,I truly mourn his passing and am so sorry for your loss. I knew Keith for a number of years in NYC, and we lost touch over time after he moved to the Bay Area. He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor, a keen mind and was a great friend. He was a very special human being.My deepest sympathy to all of you,Susan Buckley McCreight

To Renee and the Williams family. John and I send our heartfelt condolences to Renee and the Williams family on the passing of husband, father, friend and "great" guy, Keith. John worked with Keith at Levi Strauss in SF and both John and I got to know Keith and Renee while we were living in Brussels, Belgium when both John and Keith worked there for Levi Strauss. We have so many memories of dinners chez the Williams on Ave. Franklin Roosevelt and at our place; lots of laughs and lots of great food and drinks. We are so saddened to hear of his passing but know that the wonderful memories of Keith will sustain his family during this difficult time.

My heartfelt prayers to Keith's family as you all go through this transition. I met Keith when he came to work with our firm, Williams Adley & Company as a consultant for a brief period. Although quiet and reserved, he had a very gentle spirit and was quite pleasant working with. I know he was well loved and cared for by his family during his illness, and I send my sincere wishes for peace, love and fond memories in the days to come.

RenÃ?Æ?Ã?Â©e, I am so very sorry to hear the sad news and just wanted to drop a note to you and your daughter to say that Keith was truly one of the nicest, kindest and most decent of men I ever had the good fortune of working with in all my 15 years with Levi's. I have so many memories of all our, often boring (!) dinners when my best hope was to try and sit close to you both … then I knew I'd enjoy the evening. Keith had grace and humour, kindness and class and was very blessed to have you as a wife. Please convey this also to your daughter, and know that I am thinking of you dearly although far away in Brussels. All my love and remembrance, Kate x x x

I was involved in relocating Keith and RenÃ?Æ?Ã?Â©e to Belgium for Levi's in the 90's and so enjoyed getting to know them. Keith was a true gentleman, a gentle giant, and always ready with a kind word and a good laugh. He will be sadly missed. My wishes go out to RenÃ?Æ?Ã?Â©e and daughter at this sad time for you.Kind regardsJacqui
