Good night Keith Irish, I'll see you in my dreams.

Keith was a dear friend to so many, including my husband & children. He's been missed since the day he retired from work. I'm honored to have known such a wonderful man. An angel. May God's never ending love & peace be with Mary and the family.

Dear Irish Family, I knew Keith at work and saw him the hospital at retirement. I wish you grace and peace just like my supervisor Paul Watson passed away Jun 22.
