Goodbye Keith
February 4th, 2008
Tara and I were devastated to hear that Keith Foskin, a great artist, scholar, philosopher, and friend of the family, passed away two days ago.
We always looked forward to spending time with Keith and his brother Kevin during holidays and family gatherings. His love and appreciation for music was impressive in its diversity and scope, and his humor was sharp, sensitive, and quick. We always felt that Keith truly embodied what it meant to be an artist — he was overtly and openly passionate about his art, his ideas, and his politics, with his heart on his sleeve and always trying his very best to live his convictions.
What impressed us perhaps most of all was his fierce devotion to his friends, and in this terrible moment we wish we could speak with him just once more to thank him for his friendship and the good times he shared with our family, and my father in particular.
Keith, Kevin, and their friends and family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Is this the same Keith Foskin who went to St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florissant, Missouri…….and who I graduated with in 1975?
Keith and I were best friends in high school. I met Keith as a freshman, and we immediately became fast friends. I lost track of Keith when he left Missoui. However, Keith was the kind of person who you could always consider a friend, even if you didn’t see him for years.
I’m also a friend of his twin brother Kevin…..if you could let Kevin know that I’m truly heartbroken by the passing of Keith, and will always remember him in my thoughts and prayers, I’d certainly appreciate it.
Is there a way I can e-mail Kevin? I’d love to make contact with him again after all these years.
Sincerely,
Ray Breckenkamp
I am also a friend of Kevin Foskin, and still
