Sad News

I'm not sure if any of you will remember Keith Perkins or not from RIT. He married Tanya Trezise a couple years before we all got married. Tanya's brother goes to our church (when they aren't on the mission field to Brazil). Anyway we received word today that Keith died suddenly. He was returning from a business trip to China and his connecting flight was cancelled so he got a hotel room in NYC. He was found the next day (yesterday) by hotel staff. No word yet on cause of death. I just wanted to let you all know.

Wow, Dave and I were trying to figure out if any of our RIT friends would know him, I didn't realize you guys did also. I went to Roberts with him. So, so, so sad. My heart breaks for Tanya . . .

I am still trying to remember who this is. If anyone has a photo, that might jog my memory.

The name seems familiar to me but I too am at a loss to place him. We'll be praying. Thanks H.

Here's a link to his obituary:

I have pictures of him, but I don't know how to work our scanner. Will have to keep you posted on that.

I was particularly moved by this part:
"Keith has done and accomplished many things in his life but would say that his faith in Jesus and his family were most important to him."

Isn't that what we all can aspire for.
