After graduation and welcoming his daughter, Keith started his career as a civil engineer with Meisner Brem Corporation in Westford. He grew his career and worked on many projects including schools, residential subdivisions, and Meadow Creek Golf Course.

Keith spent many hours attending his daughter’s cheerleading competitions, volleyball and softball games, and his son’s wrestling, baseball and basketball practices and tournaments. He was very proud of their athletic and academic achievements. One of his greatest joys was watching his son win 2 Mass State Wrestling Championships. He also coached their basketball, softball and baseball teams and enjoyed spending evenings playing catch with his children until dark in the front yard.

Keith loved spending time with his family and had recently purchased an 18’ Marshall Sanderling sailboat which he was able to enjoy this summer with his grandson, Thomas. He hoped to pass on his love of sailing and the ocean. He loved vacationing and golfing with his son and son-in-law on Cape Cod. He had a great sense of humor and loved to cook, a passion that started with his parent’s restaurant, the Ye Olde 117 House in Sudbury.
