I never knew this man’s first name until he passed. I addressed him as Mr. Glenn. I called his son Mr. as well as he taught me Biology and drove me all over the great State of Iowa as he introduced me to his summer program of freestyle wrestling in 1986. I have had the privilege to call the Glenn family friends for many years. When people think of Iowa Wrestling they think of Dan Gable. When I think of Iowa wrestling I think of the Glenn’s. Our sincere condolences go out to Dan, Bob, Bill and Mrs. Glenn.

Patti and Family~ Keith was such a great guy and so fun to work with. Keith and I had alot of good times and many laughs working the late shift at Drugtown. Thoughts and prayers during this time. Tiffany Warner and Family
Patti and family,I was so sorry to hear about Keith’s passing. I wasn’t even aware that you were no longer living in Fairfield. That’s what happens when you lose track of someone.Keith was one of the first people I met when we moved to Fairfield. I know you’ve heard this story many times about my first day at Brown Pharmacy or one of my first days anyway. He loved telling about my falling down the stairs. It was a trap door behind the counter and someone had left it up and I went head long down those steps. He got a lot of mileage out of that. He was a great kidder and I have very fond memories of him.I’m very happy you’re living near your sons. This is the time that family and friends are priceless. I am thinking of you as you go through the grieving process. Affectionately, Donna Teeter
