Tracy (Bosman) McLennan
Dear Volland family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Keith and I worked together for three years at the E.M.A. grocery store in Seaforth years ago when I was in high school. He ran the meat shop in the back; I ran the till at the front. However, I found myself always found myself checking up on him and chatting with him. He was the kind of person you gravitated toward. Keith was a delight to work with and seeing his death in the paper hit hard. His sense of humour, his laugh, and his wisdom made each day at work such fun. Words cannot express my sadness toward the loss of your father/grandfather/great-grandfather, but please know that his life touched many others’ lives, including my own, and because of that, he will never be forgotten. May the love of your family and friends help you through the tough days ahead.
Kind regards,
Tracy (Bosman) McLennan

You need to smile when you remember all the amazing memories your dad/grandpa gave to you. All the birthday parties, functions, etc., he made sure he was at with that HUGE smile on his face watching all the children play around him or with him. Enjoy all his great memories he gave you…and smile like he would want you too. My heart hurts for the your family, thinking of you.
