Armina and family, we are sorry to hear of Keith's passing. Please accept our condolences. We have fond memories of our days at BC Tel and the times shared at the Variety Club. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy on the death of Keith. Your family will all miss him as will his many pals at BC Tel. Thinking of many happy times even though I always lost money playing golf with Keith.
