My deepest sympathy to you Marg and all the family with the loss of a wonderful man Keith. Growing up with Debbie in Belmont Park I had many occaisions to be at Keith and Marg’s house. Always welcoming and friendly to all. He will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.

My sympathies to your family. I knew Keith at Metchosin Golf Course. Although I was not in his golf group I had the great pleasure of his wonderful sense of humour in the clubhouse after games. My friends and I admired Keith for his gentle smile and keen wit. He and his group were always in great spirits laughing about the trials and tribulations of the ‘game’ we call golf. Keith would be at the centre of gentle barbs and hearty guffaws as he reluctantly paid out his debts to his fellow players, always with a smile. Keith was a kind and gentle man and I always looked forward to our visits. One of his greatest contributions was when her returned from ‘down south’ with the hairy visor on his head. When I first saw it at a distance, I thought, “My God, Keith has had a hair transplant!”
I will miss Keith and I wish you warm memories at this time.
