So sorry for your loss. Keith boarded at my parents home on Lyman Street while attending Teachers College. We all thought the world of him. I was a young girl at the time.

Joyce and family, Steve and Debbie: As my Phys Ed. Teacher at West Pictou and 15 years as a colleague, Keith was always kind and a gentleman. He was quick to help all the new kids in the staff room. He was legendary at sports trivia and so were his jokes. He will be missed. RIP. Dave and Elaine Parker

Joyce and extended family, we were so sorry to hear of Keith's passing. While we only met Keith in 2011 as part of the group from Nova Scotia who wintered together in Florida, Keith was always willing to help others, share his music and take part in all our winter activities . He particularly enjoyed our monthly maritime men's breakfasts and having me drive "the van". Keith will be fondly remembered for his scholastic and coaching achievements and for that you can all be so proud.
Take strength from each other and cherish and share in your memories of a life well lived.

How quickly the years pass and how we seem to forget our schooling years. It would be hard to forget those at WPDHS especially Mr.Battist. His many gentlemanly traits and love of sports truly made Keith as a teacher and friend. RIP Mr. B. Earle Simpson

Sorry to hear that Keith has passed. We knew things were in a decline when we met him at the hospital a few years ago and he did not know us. We had been neighbours and acquaintances in Lyons Brook for many years.
