Condolences to the Family

My condolences to Keith’s family. I was a childhood friend from Port Charlotte. We only had a few years until he moved away to Pennsylvania but looking back it was some of the best years of my life. I can’t tell you how many times he told me Terry Bradshaw was the best quarterback of all time! From baseball, to three wheeling to even rollerskating, Keith was always that one great friend we all have had in our lifetime. I lost touch with him and sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace and sending prayers and love to his entire family!

I am still in shock regarding the passing away of Mr. Kieth Lynn.  He was my boss at Code Black Security, and because of his charismatic personality, we shared many laughs and  began to form a special bond of mutual respect. The Sunday before Kieth passed away…he called me as I was playing golf with a friend of mine. I responded jokingly, “brother i’m on the golf course…what do you need now?” He wanted me to write a couple of reports.  I joked, “can I write this on Monday, but if I make this put……”  He playfully responded “Granville, you better make it”. Needless to say I did, we laughed…and I completed his report.  That’s our relationship…….real and regal.  I’ll miss him, and I’m praying for the family. Sgt. Mark Granville [Westampton,New Jersey].
