Keith W. Littlepage

Keith Walter Littlepage, age 84, died on September 24, 2024 at UC Health Hospital in West Chester, Ohio.

Keith is survived by his wife of 62 years, Bonnie (Stoffran) Littlepage of West Chester, Ohio; his daughter, Hope (Jason) Cotter, his granddaughter, Amber (Evan Wilson) Massie of Miamisburg, Ohio, his granddaughter, Carly Massie of London, Ohio, his half-brother Robert (Lynne) Friedmann, and his half-brother William (Meg) Friedmann.

He is preceded in death his stepfather, William Friedmann, his mother Thelma (Krouse) Friedmann, and his daughter Faith Littlepage.

Keith was born on December 5, 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, to parents Thelma (Krouse) Friedmann and Kenneth Littlepage. He graduated from Colerain High School in 1958. He served in the United States Navy from September 1958 to August 1964 spending much of his service time on the submarine USS Growler.

During his time in the Navy, he traveled the world in a submarine in his early adulthood and continued his love of travel throughout his life – visiting 48 of the 50 United States.

He graduated cum laude from the University of Cincinnati with a bachelor’s degree in computer science in 1991 and a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1992, while working full time.

He worked at Proctor & Gamble for 30 years retiring in June of 1995. He spent most of his career as a Computer Systems Manager at the Miami Valley Labs facility.

In retirement, Keith embraced round and ballroom dancing, taking lessons, winning trophies, and sharing special moments on the dance floor with Bonnie. For him, dancing was less about the steps and more about the moments they shared. They made lifelong friends, traveled the world, and deepened their bond, always hand in hand.

A lifelong learner, he was a proud but humble member of Mensa and Intertel. He embraced life with grace, devouring books of all kinds, often rereading his favorites. His love of history matched his passion for books. He delighted in museums and historic sites, always eager to uncover stories from the past. A natural storyteller, he wove his vast knowledge and curiosity into vivid tales, blending his love of books and history with a desire to connect with others. His gift for bringing stories to life, rich in detail and insight, was how he shared not just facts but also wisdom. His story telling was an extension of his patience, kindness, and quiet brilliance, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.

A visitation for Keith will take place on September 30, 2024 from 10 am to 12 pm at Paul R. Young Funeral Home 7345 Hamilton Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45231. The service to follow at 12 pm.
