My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this sad time and I wish all the best for you. Keith was a very good man, who loved his family.
Dear Uncle Keith He was a lot of fun to have as an uncle. Great friends with Dad as well as brothers in law. He organised a family reunion for his siblings and their families before it became too late. That is a special memory for me. Sympathy and love to all my cousins
We bought a bach at Kawhia next door to Keith and Ruth around the same time as they did. We enjoyed many years of holidays as neighbours. We bought Keith’s bach from him and will be reminded of him when we use it.
My deepest condolences and blessings to you all with the loss of Keith, he will always be remembered
I was there when Keith met Ruth , his first wife, and was bridesmaid at their wedding. Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your father. Kind regards to all the family.
