So sorry Colleen, Jenna and Family. Our prayers are with you. Love Bob and Jill.
Please accept my heartfelt condolence for your loss. RBC retiree and former coworker.
Keith was a great neighbour of ours for twenty years. He was always kind and keen to engage in conversation at the end of the driveway. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with Colleen, Jenna, Colin and family during this difficult time.
Shawn, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Colleen and Family - on behalf of the Sawyer group of the Sawyer/Hinnegan family we express our heartfelt condolences on your loss.
Dear Colleen, sorry that we could not come for the visitation and funeral but we were in Toronto. We certainly remember Keith from many Robarts social events and we send you our sincere condolences.
My Condolences on the loss of your brother. May good memories stay with you to comfort you.
Keith will be missed. I remember him as being such a great Dad to Jenna. He dutifully showed up at horse shows, a smile on his face, cheering Jenna on and jumping every fence with her! My son, David also worked for Keith for a short time and remembers Keith as being hard working, patient and kind. Michelle and I cannot be there for Keith's celebration of life due to prior travel plans but Colleen and Jenna, you will be in our thoughts tomorrow.
Keith will be remembered by us for his smile & infectious humor & his outlook on the affairs of today. He was one of my Saturday morning walk & coffee time people who will remain in my memory forever. ..Sincerely, Lynne & Dennis Pearson
