Keith was a great help on the family farm and often showed our cattle at the Fall Fair. Keith led an active life and belonged to 4H, Air Force Cadets, Comox Valley Astronomy Club and various school clubs and bands. He spent his last two years n Calgary and Fort McMurray where he was working at the time of his death.
