Dear Nikki and Derek,
I was very saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. As cousin to Garry (through my Mother, Kay Feist), it was his combination of playful humour and gentleness of spirit that made an impression on me. When I think of Garry, I think of a "peaceful passion" in his approach to life. My condolences to you, to Frank and to my cousins Terry, Peggy and Jeff.

Dear Derek, Nikki and family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear dad. Garry was my cousin and when I think of him a smile comes to my face as he always had such a great sense of humour (like his dad!) and was a delight to visit with. His Aunt Kay Feist was my mother. God bless and my prayers are with you all.

Derek & Nikki - you are in my heart & in my prayers. Your dad, Garry, is my cousin, and a favorite memory from my childhood days. He always had a good sense of humor, and loved to tease the girls [a Keller characteristic!]. Our family world is a better place for having had Garry in it.
