... As a child, Keith was instilled with a strict and conservative set of moral values and behaviors, which he and his wife, Cynthia Nicholas, passed on to their children Brian, Diane, and Steven. Keith followed his father to the University of Michigan to earn bachelor of science, master of science, and PhD degrees in chemical engineering, as well as a master of science degree in mathematics.

... From 1968 to 1983 he was chair of the board and from 1983 to 1992 he was technical director at Scientific Software-Intercomp. During these years, he developed and published detailed descriptions of a number of increasingly complex black oil, compositional, and thermal reservoir simulation models.

... Uren Award and the 1989 Anthony F Lucas Gold Medal "in recognition of his pioneering work in numerical simulation models for conventional black oil, gas storage, compositional, thermal, and fractured reservoir engineering applications; and for his sharing of knowledge through his publications and teaching." He was elected to the NAE in 1988 and in 2000 selected by Hart's E&P Magazine as one of the "100 most influential people of the petroleum century." Much of Keith's professional legacy is recorded in his publications and his software and will continue to be represented by the company he founded and in the industry he helped to create.
