I worked with Keith at Midtown North. He was always upbeat and a great guy to be around. I was also fortunate to see him and is band( I believe they were called "Expressway") perform quite often in Rockland County. He was the lead singer and he was great! They were very popular. It is a real tragedy what happened to him. He had the ability to make you smile with his great personality. He will always be missed by those who knew him.

I worked with him at 911 communications. You could never forget his smile an he was always happy and willing to help. He was loved by all who knew him. God bless him and the family he left behind

Thank you for your service Keith! It has been 19 years for your family and friends to miss your smile, that seems like a long time but I know they think of you everyday! I wrote a letter to the parole board to stop the release of your killer and I have encouraged other to also, I hope and pray he will remain in prison! God Bless your family and friends and Department!!!

I was in the Hard Rock Cafe in Mid-town tonight and saw the plaque in your honor. I came to ODMP and quickly found you. Just a note to say you were noticed today and your sacrifice did not go without notice. Mid-town is a safer place today because of your actions and the actions of your brother/sister officers.
Thank you.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I was truly saddened to hear about your death. I use to do radio talk shows under a nom de guerre, and I had appeared on several shows with your father. Your father and I have similar backgrounds. While doing a radio talk show with your father, I made it a point of letting the listeners know that you had given your life in the line-of-duty. That was the first time that he realized and asked me if I was "on-the-job." RIP, Bro !

Keith, you were destined to be a rising star that shone bright yet all too briefly here on earth. Your parents can be very proud of the intelligent, talented and good natured person that gave his life in service to strangers. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with you.
