Dear Val and family: my most sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I worked with Keith for many years at Health Canada and developed an enormous respect for him as both a colleague and a friend. More recently we reconnected during his time here at Bethania PCH. I shall miss him. God Bless...Gary - Posted by: Gary Ledoux (Friend and colleague) on: Feb 18, 2018

We grew up together in Transcona and enjoyed all small town activities: community skating, gymnastics, canteen and school experiences. As adults, Keith was always there to help with high school anniversaries and the jubllies we worked together on and celebrated. A wonderful man. To his loving wife and family who watched his suffering and joy, our most sincere sympathy. Wilma and Wilson - Posted by: Wilma and Wilson Parasiuk (Friends / Transcoians) on: Feb 03, 2018

I remember Keith reading a book as he walked from the bus on his way home, never missing a step on the way, and for the way he and Val took my daughter into their home and cottage as one of their own. Thanks forever. Joe. - Posted by: Joe Maloney (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2018

Although we didn’t know Keith very long, we enjoyed his company at the dinner table while visiting our father at Bethania. Keith was a kind, gentle man and seemed to care about everyone. Our thoughts are with his entire family. - Posted by: Tannis, Bruce and Ron Probetts () on: Feb 02, 2018
