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.

Our condolences and much love sent to Rowena and family. Our blessed hope is that we will see our loved ones again that have gone on to be with the Lord ahead of us.

Growing up in cedar springs Keith and Rowena always made sure us neighborly kids got on and off the bus safely and always ensured we went home with sweets for our families, Keith’s tarts were my favourite! As I grew I got to see Keith here and there around Blenheim, but my favourite is when he would pick up take up from Stephens’ for their date night ins, I would always give him extra fortune cookies and he’d always stay a moment to catch up on life and recent events. I’ll miss seeing him around so much, my thoughts are with his family and Rowena 🤍
