Keith R. HYDE

I was sad to hear that Keith had passed away. I attended many of his aviation lectures at the library and was always amazed at his knowledge and perspective having worked at, I believe, Rolls Royce among other aviation employers. I have been occupied with my own father's illness and have not kept up with the news. Very sad to hear.

Keith - Dear old friend

It seems only yesterday we met - 1975
The years have left us with lovely memories of you. The boyne family have been privileged to have been your 'Irish' family for many years.

We remember you as warm and generous, telling us stories of your travels and adventures. I loved talking about books, history and war time stories without. We shared a 'strange' fascination with the London underground, trains and railways.

Your knowledge was boundless,...

Clare and I had the pleasure of knowing Keith for 41 years. Keith was a fabulous photographer and took photos of our 3 kids and the exotic destinations he travelled to (Sankara) which still adorn our walls. Keith was an English gentleman with plenty of charm. He was very principled and always stood firm in defence of his convictions. Keith was truly an individual who eschewed convention and did things his way. We enjoyed having him over for barbecues and a few pints and listening to his...

What a loss for the world, and especially your friends and family.
Always positive, and always a gentleman until the end, which you met with such strength and grace.

My sincerest condolences to the Hyde family. It was both an honour and a privilege to have had Keith as a speaker at a number of Toronto Public Library programs at the North York Central Library over the years. His tremendous knowledge of aircraft, aviation history and air operations will be missed by all. His talks were always a delight to attend and I will miss his insights on many modern aviation topics when we talked aside in between planning events.

Keith, I will miss your gracious manner and brilliant mind! What a guy! And you were so brave to the end! Thank you for your warm hospitality that I have so appreciated over many years! You and Susan were a great team! Thanks for including me in your lives! I will watch out for her. Peace be with you dear friend!

We are so glad to know that Keith said he had a good life.It has always been a pleasure to be with both of you . Keith's enthusiasm and sincere wish to help others will always serve as an example of a life well lived.We miss him now and forever and a day.

Keith's endearing ( and enduring ) sense of humor and our fruitful conversations were the mainstays of a 43 year friendship.

A gentleman and an original.

My condolences to Susan.
