your family loves and misses you very much. We are very proud of you.love, mom and dad. Rest in peace, Keith.

Christine I hope you will email me at magiemae@cox.net. I met your brother at the Post Office 3 years ago. We became friends instantly. We exchanged numbers and stayed in contact until the last year or so. I remember that Keith would always be so happy when he received packages from home. Several times I would make him a very large pan of sausage, peppers and onions along with garlic bread. He was a good cook and as everyone knew he loved to eat. Please email me when you can.

ALCON, I can't say how much I appreciate the supportive words in my family's time of need. I am Christine ''Christy'' Bemis, and he was the reason why my younger sister Mary Frances ''Fran'' joined the Navy. Keith was a wonderful brother. If any of you guys ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Fair winds and following seas shipmate. Thank you for everything Keith, you taught me a lot and helped me to be a better person and a better sailor. You will be missed pal!

To the family of Keith, know that his Navy family loved him very much and he will be sorely missed. Keith and I were stationed at LCS Classron when I was there 2008-2010.  He was a great friend and shipmate.  May God bless you and keep you through this very difficult time, my prayers are with you all and I will pray the Rosary for Keith.

Shipmate, it was an honor to serve with you. I will miss you!

Keith - you will be missed.  I am without words to express how much your family, friends and fellow shipmates will miss you.  You were always the "go to guy" on mission day.  Farewell, my fellow Chief.

Keith,
It was an honor to have served with you on LKC. You will be missed shipmate.

Keith was a good leader, a great friend, and a tremendous sailor. We worked together at Navy Recruiting Station San Angelo, where he continuously pushed for excellence and just about always achieved it. It is a lesser world without him.~Go with God, Shipmate.~

RIP Chief Petty Officer Bemis.  You were a great shipmate and an even better person.  May God Bless those who love you during this difficult time.

       Your going to be missed, was proud to have served with you on Lake Champlain.  Rest Easy CHIEF.

So sorry for your loss. A fallen hero and fellow Chief who will be remembered in our prayers.

Keith 
I hope you find peace. I will always cherish our talks and the analytical input you were famous for. Carry on Chief you will be missed

Keith and I were best friends when he lived here in San Angelo, and remained close when he moved to San Diego...he was an amazing person with a huge heart and a smile that could light up the entire room. He was such a caring person and went out of his way to help others. I miss him every day....

Keith was a great friend. Hadn't talked to him in while, but he left a lasting impression on me while both in the navy and out of it. He will be greatly missed. Fair winds and following seas, shipmate.
