    My deepest sympathy to the Keener Family. Keener hardware and the Keener family have been a huge part of the Brentwood community for so many years. Your dad was always such a great source when I came to the store. Every house project and question could find patient advice and exactly the right tools for the task. Prayers for peace.

    Thank you so much "Mr. Keener" for all the help and knowledge you gave to me these past 30 years! Such a nice, caring, ad wonderful man. I could always imagine some NASA engineer calling Mr. Keener asking as to how to fix the space shuttle. 🙂 As long as he lived I still felt like a kid going into his store.
