							Obituary  
							 
							Samuel M. “Sam” Keys Jr., 73, of 
							Lincoln passed away on Friday, September 17, 2021 in 
							his home.
 The first son of Sam and Margaret Keys. Sam 
							graduated from LCHS in 1966, then graduated in 1970 
							from California Institute of Technology (CalTech). 
							He then formed a very successful computer usage 
							system, one of the first to come out of Los Angeles. 
							He was a well-known person in the computer field, 
							giving lectures in the US and Europe. Eventually he 
							decided to sell his business, and move toward a less 
							hectic life than his in LA. He was married and 
							divorced twice but had no children. Eventually, he 
							retired early and moved back to Lincoln.
 
 He loved golf, politics, and technology.
