Keith Snow had worked for North West Surfacing and North West Recyclers. We were first introduced to Keith Snow when he was about 12-years old, a Sacramento Bee paper delivery boy. While delivering the paper, he was soliciting mowing lawns. The soliciting of mowing lawns evolved into detailing all of our company vehicles. When Keith Snow was old enough to work, we hired him as an employee and he was one of the best. Keith Snow has an immense loyalty and a compelling drive to do what is right even in adverse situations. Keith is driven by honesty. He later became a foreman and directed construction activities. He always had a unique disposition to put the customer first. Keith later would direct the North West Recycling daily activities.
Keith was injured working for our company on October 3, 1996 and only by the grace of god survived the accident. He was in a coma for approximately four months. His family was in the ICU planning his funeral while he was in coma. While in the ICU, I visited Keith and told him that he had to show me a sign that he was in there because his family was going to have him unplugged. While holding his hand, I told Keith that he needed to show me something, and next thing you know a slight twitch on command, I knew he was there. So I lobbied his family to give him a chance. When Keith awoke several months later, he told me that I was the only one who believed he was still there. That being said, Keith Snow is a fine individual with honest intentions. If Keith were elected mayor, it would bring a whole new perspective to politics. Keith is the same guy today, after the accident, as he was before. His thought processes are exactly the same. Keith has a unique ability to overcome adversity and not many people could overcome what he has been through and still have the same positive outlook.
I would be honored to support Keith Snow if he were running for mayor in our city. Keith has the unique ability to work with adversities and bring people together with common goals. Keith has always fought for the underdog. I believe that if the members or your community took the time to know him, they would vote him in hands down.
