I was saddened to see that Keith passed away.
I worked at the Canterbury Education Board from 1972-1989.
Keith was my boss in the Buildings and Maintenance division for a couple of years.
He was a good man and taught me the ropes as it were, this being my first job after I left school.
I posted his death notice on my Facebook page as I am still in touch with several ex CEB staff members.
Several remembered Keith fondly as a lovely man and a fair boss.
I last saw Keith at the 20 year reunion of the demise of the CEB.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to his family.
Rest In Peace Keith.

I worked with Keith at the Canterbury Education Board for many years, as did my brother, Kevin. I last saw Keith 4 or 5 years ago at the funeral of a man he worked with at the CCC who was a dear friend of my Mum. Keith got up and spoke, and after the service I went to speak to him and introduced him to my dear Mum, who passed away on 23rd April. I'm so sad to hear Keith has passed away. My deepest condolences to Jill and his daughters, son-in-law and grandchildren.
