The Book Of Small Humor - By Keith Middlemas

Consider yourself formally invited to attend… a gathering to celebrate the life of Keith Arthur Middlemas. It will be held on September 13th at the Cider Gallery in Lawrence. The exact time is still to come, but plan on late afternoon or early evening..

He was, without question, a prolific artist in the medium of stone, a storyteller by heart, was, without question, a Lawrence icon, a prolific artist in the medium of stone, a storyteller by heart, and a father I miss dearly. I don’t think you can walk five blocks in town without passing something he laid his loving hands on and a father I miss dearly. I don’t think you can walk five blocks in town without passing something he laid his loving hands on.

The Book of Small Humor was the name he gave to a collection of autobiographical stories he carried with him throughout his life. Some he wrote in full; many he simply lived. But all of them bore his signature: dry wit, deep thought, and an unshakable reverence for what was true and what was right.

If you feel moved to bring something, a piece of live music, a poem, a story, or maybe some fresh lotus flowers, as he loved them… you’re welcome to message me, call, or text. That said, your presence alone is more than enough.

The sting in this one for me… lies in the irony here… It will be the first time the stories are told, and he’s not the one telling them.
