Keith is survived by his wife Barb, brother Jack, sons Kristofer and Logan, stepsons Kenneth and Justin, and grandchildren Kiersten, Kolton, and Addison. Keith was a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, and friend to all.

Having served 27 years in the Army as an Armor Officer, Keith commanded elements at every echelon including a year in Vietnam during which he was awarded three Bronze Stars, one with valor device. Additionally, Keith was twice awarded the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal with one oak leaf cluster, and is a member of the Order of St. George and St. Barbara.

Upon retiring as a Colonel from the Army, Keith served as a defense contractor in the Washington, D.C. area and ultimately became CEO of NaturalScapes, a successful excavating and engineering firm founded by his stepson Justin.

When not working, Keith was an avid golfer and member of Evergreen Country Club. Keith also enjoyed reading, cooking and spending any free time with family. Keith was always present to lend an ear, offer sage council, or to simply share a glass of wine.

However, this marriage did occur.  Anna's SS Application showed this last name (Oct 1939) and changed back to her maiden name (Feb 1944).  Also, the marriage record with James Willis notes that she is divorced when she marries James.

W. F. Batton

Commercial developer

Atherton resident Wilbert F. "Bill" Batton, who worked as a general contractor and commercial developer in California for 52 years, died at his home on April 30. He was 84.

A reception for Mr. Batton will be held Friday, May 8, between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Santa Clara Marriott, 2700 Mission Blvd., in Santa Clara.

A native of Verden, Okla., Mr. Batton left his family farm at an early age in search of work, picking cotton and apples, and later joined the Civilian Conservation Corps on the construction of the Grand Cooley Dam. As a traveling salesman, Mr. Batton claimed to have worked in every state, his family said.

Mr. Batton moved to California in 1943 after beginning his construction career in Anchorage, Alaska, where he built private homes and barracks for the Army.

He founded W.F. Batton & Co. Inc. in 1946 and built custom homes and apartments throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Mr. Batton was one of the first contractors to build tilt-up commercial buildings, his family said.

Many of Mr. Batton's buildings housed start-up companies in Silicon Valley, including his award-winning "Wedge" building in the Marriott Business Park, his family said. Another project in San Jose was recognized by the city as the "Outstanding Office Project" in 1990.

An avid sportsman, Mr. Batton enjoyed duck hunting and fishing as well as working in his garden, his family said.

He survived by his wife Marie; his daughters, Linda Batton, Marguerite Batton, Bonnie Keyes and Michelle Wright; three step-children, Harold, Jeanette and David Balzer; 14 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Bonita Twombly, three nieces and two nephews.

Stephen Noel Broadstone, 69, was suddenly taken from us on October 31, 2010.

He was born in Houston, Texas on December 5, 1940, to Harold L. and Doris L. Broadstone. Steve grew up in Houston and later attended Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. He then attended the University of Maryland and afterward went to work for the Federal Government in Washington D. C. for several years. Afterward, Steve moved to Houston and worked for the VA Hospital for many years until he retired July 1, 2000.

Steve moved to Galveston 12 years ago in 1998 and never looked back. He enjoyed memberships in the Galveston Historic Foundation, the Jean Laffite Society, East End Historic District, and the Silk Stocking Historic District.
Steve is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his brother, Ronald C. Broadstone, of The Woodlands, TX; and by several cousins. He will be missed by his beloved pets: dog, Bonnie Blu, and cats, Sue Ella, Lulubelle, and Beauregard; and his loving extended family of friends.
