Ted will be remembered as a quiet and very pleasant man devoted to Diane and his family. He was well respected by his fellow Police Officers and was a good and dedicated Officer himself. Diane please know you and you family are in our thoughts at this trying time. Remember the good times from the past as memories are what keep us going. Please accept our sympathy, Jack and Elaine in Kelowna. - Posted by: Jack Reay (Fellow worker and friend) on: Oct 28, 2018

Deepest condolences to Dianne, and to Carrie & Jennifer and their families at Ted's passing. My heart goes out to you as you mourn the loss of my cousin - your Husband/Dad/Grandpa. Because the Keep Family was so large and I was somewhat of an "afterthought", there is a huge age gap between me and most of my cousins. I did not know Ted well - but he was always very kind and good natured whenever I did spend time with him in my younger years. I sure see my Dad (Robert) in him in this photograph! Life is fleeting! Love & enjoy! Big hugs to you all. Liz & Robert Duerksen (daughters Sam & Rebecca) - Posted by: Liz Duerksen (nee Keep) (Cousin) on: Oct 27, 2018

How sorry we were to hear of Ted's passing. Growing up Charlie and I remember Ted as an "older brother" as Ted's dad would pick us up most Sundays and take us to their home in Weston - our Dad was in the army and away an awful lot - we spent many hours playing with Ted, Vera Lynn and Dennis and the neighbor kids while mum visited with Auntie Vera in the kitchen drinking tea and making wonderful dinners. Diane I know you and your children, grandchildren and great-grandchild will miss him very much - he was a good gentle man. - Posted by: Carol and Brian Polonski (Carol is cousin) on: Oct 27, 2018
