Lynda and Mercedes,
Linda and I are heartbroken, and missing Keith greatly. He was so special, always kind, always quick to smile, and would always easily make others smile as well. A special gift. I have told the story many times that there was no one better, no one looked better, no one handled himself better, no one dealt with such ease, as Keith at a reception. With a glass of red wine in his hand of course. I was always thrilled when we would be able to enjoy an outing together. Which leads me of course to - Hockey! - I had the good fortune of attending some games with Keith, who was passionate about his Flames, knew all what was going on, with the players, the lines, the opposition, and he would become very, very, very engaged. Sometimes a little too much I would tell him as when fights broke out, there was Keith, getting right into it, standing up, arms start swinging, elbows out, he was really into it let me tell you. I remember thinking maybe I need to wear a helmet when I go to games with Keith. He was a very passionate about his hockey!
Seriously, he loved you both so much, he would offer regularly how lucky he was. And how proud of he was of you Mercedes.
Thank you Keith, for your love, your kindnesses, and your friendship. It's been a blessing to have been so fortunate to have known you, and to have spent time with you. May you rest in peace my friend.
