Our deepest condolences to Lois and Keith's families. Keith sponsored me to join the Rotary organization and he was the first school principal my wife Bev had when she started her teaching career in The Pas. Keith's genuine, thoughtful and friendly manner was appreciated by all of The Pas' teachers and citizens who had the opportunity to work with Keith over the many years he spent in The Pas. We are thinking of you Lois and family at this time. Keith will be missed by all who knew him. Gene & Bev ~ The Pas, MB. - Posted by: Gene Germain (Friend and Rotarian) on: Dec 07, 2016

Very special afternoon when the senior men gathered for their usual afternoon on the curling rink. Keith was part of the team that is still highlighted at the curling rink - played a perfect 8-ender game! Skip Elymer Young was so nervous he would mess up his last rock but it was not to be that day! They were top dogs! Whether it was on the curling rink, in meetings with the school board, in the community either working events or enjoying the efforts of others, Keith always had a smile and a word of encouragement for someone else. We treasure the strength he showed the rest of us on his last challenge of life. Our thoughts and prayers are now with Lois and the rest of the family whom he loved so well. - Posted by: Linda and Grant Buchanan () on: Dec 06, 2016
