We had only known Keith & Kay since 2013 but what a pleasure he was. Always with a welcoming smile, an entertaining commentary on whatever topic was going around the table. It is lovely to know more about his legacy which explains his bull dog determination during his declining health. God Bless you all, may all your memories of him bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. Linda & Craig Schilder
