Charles Keele

Unfortunately, it has just recently come to my attention that Charles Keele has passed away after a long battle with Cancer.

Like many people that have been around for a long time, if you were not able to meet or work with this TRUE CRAFTSMAN in his trade, you sorely missed meeting a great man.

Our hearts are hanging low today as I knew him well and worked with him several times on different jobs. Always very knowledgable in his craft and quick witted enough to ALWAYS carry a smile with him day in and day out no matter the conditions on site.

We will miss you Charles, and much like the loss of Jerry Killen earlier this year, overseas construction has suffered a GREAT loss in this.

Thoughts and prayers going out to the family. :( :( :( :(

Charles was a true professional to the Industry.
He knew his craft, and others.
He was Always at work, and working hard. Embassy Building experience, dripped from his sweat glands. Just like Jerry Killen , before him.
The next Time I wrap my hands around a cold Stella will be for Charles and Jerry. Because, I am sure, that those two great men, will be hard at work on a New Embassy Compound in Heaven. :cheers

How Sad.
I liked Charles. Its sad to see this happening, but more and more, us younger guys are becoming the "Old Timers" in this industry. The issues and conditions just seem to be getting worse and worse. The jobs are shorter, the skilled labor and craftsmen fewer, and the wages smaller...on top of that, our old guard is fading away.
