Keith worked in skilled trades for General Motors in Lansing for 25 years. When he retired in 1994, he and Joyce moved to the home he built for his family on Coldwater Lake in Weidman, Michigan. He opened his lake home to countless family and friends who love spending their summer weekends and vacations at the “cottage”, including the annual 4th of July Jason Family Reunion weekend.
Keith loved restoring his treasured classic Ford Mustangs, fixing things, and was our family and friend’s local mechanic and handyman. He was always there to help you out whenever and wherever you needed him. Even up until his final days he would tell us “give me a call if you need anything”.
Dad was able to stay in his own home on Coldwater Lake throughout the last year with the loving care and support by Ellen and Garry Lepley. We want to thank Ellen, Garry and all the friends and families who showed our dad their love, support and friendship.
The funeral service will be 11:00 am Wednesday, September 5th at the Williamston Free Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 2-8 pm on Tuesday, September 4th at the Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes Williamston Chapel.
The family is being served by Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes, Williamston Chapel. Online condolences and memories may be made to the family at www.grwilliamston.com.
