He weighed 4lbs 7oz, was 17.5 inches long, and was caught by his father as he came into the world. Right from the start he made an impression on people. Flirting with the nurses and laughing at the doctors. His personality brought joy to all who encountered his presence. Loretto made us smile everyday yelling with his enormous voice to ensure his opinion was voiced he was a born leader. Loretto loved to be held and never wanted to miss out on anything. He always smirked and laughed when Michael made a dirty joke and at his mother's witty remarks. He listened to everything he could hear. Listening to music was his favorite way to spend time relaxing, eating, and being put to sleep. His favorite music was Motown, Rap, and listening to mom and dad sing. Loretto's favorite way to sleep was being held. He gave the best snuggles around. He took after his father in most ways but he undeniably had his mother’s eyes and lips, with the bluest eyes and golden red hair. His favorite time was bath time loving being pampered like the little king he was, getting his head and back massaged was essential to his bath and eating rituals. He also loved eating, laying on mom, and falling asleep to Motown music.

He is survived by his parents Michael Keith and Jocelyn Keith; his siblings Isabella Lillian and Lucas Scott. His grand father Michael Williams, grandmother Diana Kidder, and grandfather Joe Kidder; grandmother Marie Aninos; uncles Chuck Craig, Trevor Szafran, and Joe Chartier; aunts April Craig, Patricia Harris, and Aunt Deborah; cousin Mylan; and friend Tom McGee.
