He served as a flight surgeon in the U. S. Air Force and while stationed in Riverside CA, completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology and delivered 764 babies. In a 2003 interview with The Herald, Keightley said: “I enjoyed obstetrics and did lots more of it than most in my internship in Louisville. When I went to the March Air Force Base, they only had two doctors. They were worked to death and asked what I wanted to do. I said, ‘deliver babies,’ and they said, ‘you’ve got them.”
Keightley also served in the U. S. Army during WWII.
“It’s a sad loss to our community and our patient care team. He was a member of our medical staff for 50 years, a member of our board for many years and also served as chief of the medical staff. We will all miss him, said Dr. Earl Motzer, CEO at Haggin Hospital.

When he retired, he said he had seen many changes in the medical field during his lifetime, chief among them, the development of antibiotics. “I remember when we didn’t have them. I’ve been in both ends of it, when aspirin, mustard plaster and cold compresses were all we had, to using antibiotics. Antibiotics have progressed to better ones and that has changed the whole treatment schedule,” he said.
Keightley also served on the Board of Director of the State Bank and Trust Company for many years.
He is survived by is wife, Margaret Cummins Keightley, a daughter, two stepdaughters and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a son and stepson.
