| Don't know what to say, it was a great shock to me. He was real
nice guy. My heart goes out to his family. Legend suggested we
hold a benefit tourny this spring. Real good idea.

Friends...
As we traverse through life we tend to enter periods
where little affects us. Yesterday is like today...and today
will be like tomorrow. We put off doing and saying what ought
to be said and done. We rarely give thanks for our many blessings.
Especially the blessings of simple friendships; of being associated
with good and honorable people. And then Keith dies...
As mere mortals it is impossible to understand why, in Gods,
infinite wisdom, he took Keith from us. To many this is a troubling
question...to me it is not. I recognize that I am not God and can't
even come close to being as wise and great as he. I do not understand
how my car works but I accept that... I don't always understand how
God works and I accept that as well.
So the question remains...how do we deal with Keiths death?
First and foremost instead of rebelling against God for taking
Keith from us we give mighty thanks for having been given the opportunity
to know him. I didn't know Keith as well as many of you but it didn't
take long to form opinions about him. He seemed to be a honest, honorable
and upright man. A man who was proud of his children. A man who would
offer help to someone in need. I will fondly remember the man. And when
I remember him he will be wearing his ever present smile.
Secondly we should look out for his children. Keith would have
wanted that...he would have appreciated that. These kids are now burdened
with no longer having their Dad around. Today there is little that we can
do to take away their pain...to take away their sorrow. We can however
try to provide for their future financial and emotional means. We can all
donate to the Hauer Childrens Trust C/O Flagship Bank, 4 Mower Street,
Worcester, Ma. 01602. Even if you didn't know Keith please still make a
contribution for his five young children. Maybe you didn't know Keith but
he wasn't much different than you and I. Wouldn't you want others to look
after your children? Think about that for a moment!
Keith loved to fish. He was also the treasurer of the Digital
Bass Association. As such I would like to see our club hold a yearly
fishing tournament in his honor. Not only would all proceeds go to the
Hauer Childrens Trust but his kids would get to see how much others cared
for their father. Year after year after year.
In death Keith has presented us with an opportunity. A chance
to be compassionate. A chance to care. Please take the chance!

| Is there anymore news on how it happened ? I didn't really know Keith
other than from the notesfile. Even so, I can't help feeling bad for his
wife and kids.
I know it's no consulation, but if one has to go, falling asleep and
not waking up would probably be the most preferred way.
