Keith Dennis Nowak passed away peacefully in the early hours on Monday, November 25th, at the age of 80, with his wife and two children by his side.
Born in Racine, Wisconsin, in 1944, Keith lived a life filled with purpose, passion, and achievement. He rose from humble beginnings on a small family farm to become a remarkable man of many talents and virtues. A voracious reader and lifelong learner, Keith was a dedicated Marine, a brilliant electrical engineer, a successful intellectual property trial attorney, a published writer, a skilled carpenter, an avid sailor, and a friend to all animals great and small—especially his horse, Serene Valor, and his dogs, Shadow, Rusty, Rosie, and Hank. Above all, he was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a doting grandfather.
