Keith was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Patricia Condojani.

Born September 17, 1941, in Geddes, South Dakota to Ignatius and Alta Augustine. Keith was raised in Marshalltown, Iowa, where he graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1959 and went on to graduate from Northwest Missouri State in 1965.

Keith was married to Penelope Proctor on September 5, 1964. She was the light of his life and together they raised three children in Marshalltown, where he worked for many years in medical sales. Later he and Penny had a second career as teaching parents at Father Flanagan’s Boys Home in Omaha, Nebraska and then with the Ohio Family Teaching Association in Toledo, Ohio. This change in career was an outward expression of his spirit of service. They retired in 1997 and moved to Lake St. Louis, Missouri, to be closer to family.

Keith had many interests and pursuits and was passionate about many things in life. While in high school and college he was involved in theater and debate, winning awards for debate. Debate was a skill that served him well and he was a hard person to win an argument against! Keith was also a great lover of music; whether he was singing in men’s community and church choirs or listening to jazz and classical music on his stereo, music was a big part of his life. In his later years, Keith developed a heartfelt interest of naturopathic medicine and he shared this knowledge with many friends and family. But the most important pursuit was that of his love of Christ and his Catholic faith. He lived his faith devoutly and shared it with many.
