Tribute by Beverly Sutton, Board Member, Housing Works, Inc
Good afternoon, Reverend Canon Frederick Williams, Reverend
Harvey, distinguished guests, family of Keith Cylar, Housing
Works Family, and Friends,
Keith's greatest gift was getting the best out of people. When
I first came into the program at Housing Works four years ago,
it was Keith who let me know that I mattered… who talked with…and
teased me into helping myself and others. Nine months later,
I ran for a seat as client representative to the Board of Directors.
It was Keith who nominated me for membership on the Audit Committee,
of which I'm still a member and Co-Chair…and it was Keith who
encouraged me to work on the Strategic Planning and Quality
Assurance committees of the Board, as well.
I was so fortunate to know Keith and work with him. He always
gave of himself as a person, with love and generosity. He gave
his all at everything he did, whether it was representing Housing
Works at an AIDS conference in Miami…or finding a way to raise
funds for a new clinical program.
He recently told me that one day I'd be a great fundraiser for
Housing Works! OK, Keith….I'm starting today.
Will everyone here please do what he'd like most by giving
generously to the Keith Cylar Fund!! Keith, I love you and will
miss you. REST IN PEACE!!!!
