"My condolences to the Ladd family, Keith is loved very much, he will be missed. I will miss him. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say, "Thank you" for all that Keith has done in the community. I remember him from such a small boy walking to school every day, as well as seeing him and his father at the ball fields. His family's contributions to Baseball in particular were an integral part of the community for all of us as children. I always liked Kieth, he was well behaved and respectful and from what I understand was no different as an adult. I had an opportunity to speak with a couple of ball players Keith had been Coaching and found out how much he really cared when they mentioned how much time he spent with all of his players. He personally took upon himself to invest so much into each and every one of them. After hearing about this, I could not wait to see him again. Although we had spoken on occasion, I never got my chance. Those players and people who did get there chance are blessed, Keith was a very good man, I will miss him. Thanks Keith, love you man...."

"My sincerest condolences to the Ladd family. While I did not know Keith long (his grandson and my son played baseball together), I enjoyed talking with him after every game and hearing stories from his time in Dyer Little League. He was very knowledgeable about baseball and very easy to talk to. You could tell he cared about his family and he wanted to share his passion of the game with his grandson. He was a great guy and he will be missed. "
