  • Rowena & family,

    We are so sorry to hear of Keith's death. I will always remember him as such a loving and caring man with an amazing talent for baked goods, especially tarts. He was also such a wonderful babysitter for all the kids you both looked after. I know our kids adored him and your caring nature, I never had to worry about my kids when they were with the 2 of you ❤️.

  • To Rowena & all of Keith's family & friends: my heart goes out to all of you! I may just be his great nephew Brennan's school bus driver but Keith certainly made me feel valuable! He always shared his smile & uplifting words! His sunny disposition radiated the warmth of God's love in his heart! I miss seeing him & talking with him for short sunbursts (Son-bursts) of time. How fitting that he was a baker as he certainly made the lives of everyone he encountered sweeter! I am grateful &
    blessed to have known him! ((HUGS)) to his wonderful wife Rowena. You couldn't find a nicer couple!

  • Rowena and to the Anderson family, please accept my sincere condolences in Keith's passing. I have great memories of growing up two doors from the Andersons on Factory Hill in Cobourg. We were all very close neighbours especially in our teenage years enjoying time at the "Y" dances, joining RCSCC Skeena sea cadet corp. and many, many days swimming in Lake Ontario at the end of the street. The memories of the hundreds of hours spent in the park across the street playing baseball, football, tag and playing hockey on the outdoor rink that our fathers made each winter. My thoughts for my childhood friend are with you at this sad time.
