Not sure what to say?

Dear Connie, I only now heard about Keith’s departure. I was very sad to hear that. We had good fun at GOS and kept in touch afterwards. I myself retired in 2000. My wife Olga unfortunately died of leukaemia in 2002 and our son Jaroslav age 50 of cerebral glioblastoma. I remarried Sheelagh, Irish anaesthetist. I am still active, playing golf 4 times a week - although in January I was 86.
Once again my sympathy is with you

So sorry to hear belatedly of Keith's passing. My family and I enjoyed our visit with Keith and Connie summer before last. We enjoyed talking about Jack and the Ashcraft Family.

My mother was Norma Ashcraft Anderson. Her father was Martin Ashcraft.

Our Sincere Condolences,

Cindy, Willis and Candace Weigand

Blessings of comfort and Gods peace go to his Wife, Chiildren, and grandchildren . Thank you for all the good memories, Kieth.

He was so gracious and compassionate and told us that without surgery, he would certainly have no chance of survival. Unbeknown to us as new parents, this type of birth defect did not give much hope, but following surgery when...

Connie, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You and Keith are a wonderful example of how impactful you can be in a community and a person's life. Angela Gieras
