Keith Connes attended Ithaca College studying drama and music. He was an ad man in New York City, quit the corporate world to become a freelancer and migrated to California. He also performed in and wrote plays over his lifetime. He experienced life from the heights of piloting small aircraft, including hot air balloons, as well as the depths of the ocean by scuba diving. Keith has written several books, most recently via voice to text, and has written a book and taught classes about this. When cancer recurred, he was trying to complete publishing his latest book about our vice-presidents who became president. Keith has been active in Toastmasters, the computer club, several writing groups and the History Society of Kings Point where he's given presentations. Keith embraced his life with vigor and enthusiasm.
His family and friends miss his intelligence and wit and cherish the legacy of his published works. Memories of him bring smiles. Keith Connes was a talented performer and storyteller, a dynamic and interesting person. What a life!
Per his wishes, there has been no funeral service.
