Dear Aunty Valda and all our family in NZ,
We dearly wish we could be there today to share in the memories, laughs & tears while celebrating Keith´s life.
It would be great to share some photos too, but the best memories we have to share are in our heads of which one of our favourites is, Keith patiently waiting for all us girls to get ready to go out for the day, he would grin and quietly say, "It´s like herding cats!!"
Keith´s friendly wit and great sense of humour will be dearly missed but not forgotten.

All our love & hugs,
Anne & Anthony & all your family in Aus xxx

Dearly loved partner of Valda. Highly respected friend of Kate, Leonie and Juanita. Keith faced the challenge of his diagnosis with stoicism and good humour. (1 platelet? What is your margin of error?)

The laughs will be dearly missed. You are free now to roam the endless trails of your beloved Central Otago. Rest in peace my good mate.
