Mr. Keeton was a wonderful and kind soul. He had a smile for everyone and brought so much kindness to the Cherry Lane neighborhood. Keeton family ~ I am so sorry for your loss.
Cotton occasionally sat in on our book club. He usually rated the book a 2; he never read the book, just rated it a 2. Cotton, you’ll always be a 5 to us!
Mr Keaton was the godfather of cherry lane.
He was such a kind man. Also gave me my nickname.
I’m a better person for knowing him.
I always enjoyed going over to their house in high school. The Keetons were always so welcoming. I truly felt like family. Mr K had a great sense of humor and always had great stories to tell. I felt like I left knowing more about the world than I did before I arrived. I looked forward to going back again. I am so glad that cotton beat all the odds to live a longer life than expected. The world was a better place with him in it.
Mr. Keeton was a one-of-a-kind person. I will ALWAYS remember the beautiful yard he maintained (mowed to perfection!), him painting my 1974 Plymouth Satelite, his quick wit and THE T-bird. So sorry for your loss.
