Rich Keel passed away today from a heart attack. His son Josh Choate and my son played summer ball together for the last 7 years and are college teammates as well as roomates.
I am at a loss for words, as Rich was like a brother to me. If you are connected in the baseball family in the Lewisville/Flower Mound area, please get the word out.
The funeral arrangements will be made in the coming hours and I'll post them when I find out.
The only solace I can find right now is that Rich was able to watch his son play college baseball this fall, a dream we talked about on many occasions over the years.
Rich doing what he loved to do, watching the boys play baseball in Farmington last summer.
