Robert Marion Keith Sr., born January 14, 1943, in Pensacola, Florida, to Robert Lee and Laura Mae Keith. Robert was the Owner of Keith Reality, Inc., he was the managing Broker and provided property management services throughout Mobile County for over 50 years. He has spent numerous hours camping, pulling skiers behind his boat on skies and hydroslides, camping and hunting with his grandsons and lifelong friends, and just being around the pool or anywhere with his family around him. He referred to many as “Angel”, “Darlin”, or “Champ”. Robert was also referred to by many names: “Daddy”, “Papa”, “Uncle Robert”, “Uncle Honey”, “Brother Robert”, and “Robert”, to name a few, but none more precious to him than “Honey” from Miss Barbara.
