Dear Joan and family
Keith was one of the most hard working, reliable, helpful colleagues we had around in the Anaesthetic departments at St. Michael’s and Municipal hospitals. This is not forgotten!
We miss him too at the Lethbridge College dining, supporting the students, and enjoying excellent meals.
A good life; well lived.
He is missed. Brian and Mary
Joan & Family,
Our deepest condolences to you all. Keith was a great gyro and gentleman. He always spoke well of everyone and had a twinkle in his eye. Wish we could be there to give you all a hug. Our prayers and good wishes to all of you, from all gyros and ladies in District 8.
