Bio |
Keith wrote for our 50th reunion that he has had 47 years of harmony and bliss with his wife! This he finds to be one of his greatest achievements. He served in the Army Reserve and has been both a restaurant owner and a real estate broker. He has no plans to retire, likes working. The Business teacher Randolf Pemperton influenced him in high school. He remembers with great fondness the lunchroom dances and Chubbs Ballroom, and the music of the 50s & 60s.------- Keith D. Kottke, age 77, of Grand Rapids, MN, passed away Monday, September 19, 2022, at Sandford Medical Center, Bemidji, MN. Keith was born in 1945 to Roy and Kathryn Kottke in Robbinsdale, MN.
