While our human hearts are empty and aching, the heavenly choir is full today with the addition of the glorious bass voice of Keith Price. What a dear, sweet man! Our lives are so much richer for having known him. We have so many wonderful memories – too numerous to share here. We send our love and wympathy to Patsy and all the family.
To Patsy, a great friend in teaching and singing, and all of Keith’s family: Keith was the most talented musician I ever worked with in choirs. A fine sax player from the days of the big bands, and as a section leading singer in the Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church choir and the Gwinnett Civic Chorus, Keith was the can do person in music and attitude. My thoughts of Keith take me to some of the most joyful memories of my life.
