We where so saddened to hear of the passing of Keith, we will truly miss him. He always had a smile and wave for us and would stop over for a chat and sometimes a beer, but too bad it was such a long cold winter as you’re just not out as much. We enjoyed an evening with Keith & some of his friends between Xmas & New Years and he had mentioned that he wasn’t used to being the host and getting stuff ready as that was Joan’s department. Glad we had that time together and listened to stories and all had a laugh. We had asked him over many times for dinner since Joan’s passing but he always said thanks maybe another nite. We look over often and just can’t believe we won’t be seeing Keith anymore. They where sure great neighbours. I’m sure he’s happy and smiling down and glad to be back with Joan.
Sincerely The Daymans, Their York Crescent friends

To the Stephenson families,
I was very sad upon hearing the passing of Keith. He was a very kind, loving man. He would always try to tease me or would like to get me with me a good joke. Thinking back of all the memories of him and Joan they were like extended family to us as we were growing up. They were there for the good times and especially the bad. I will always remember him and be greatful that I knew a man like him. I truly believe that he is at peace now.
Take care,
Mary Ellen (Webster), Mark, Jack and Sam Finlayson
