To the greatest Keith I have ever met. I hope I can achieve half of what you did and affect as many people as you did in such a positive way. You will be remembered as long as I am alive to keep the endless amount of stories going.

Soldier, businessman and above all a gentleman in the finest meaning of the word. I consider myself so fortunate that Moray was able to bring Norm over to Victoria this past summer and join us for lunch at the Union Club, the highlight being sharing a sip or two of Glen Morangie ! Norm, an inspiration to us all. Our hearts and thoughts go out to Moray, Pam and the Keith family. Indeed an honour and privilege being friends for so many years.

Stormin Norman, to many of us who had the privilege of working with him. He promised a young Grade 12 student a job when she graduated from school and true to his word when she showed up at Main Office, Edmonton he gave her a job at University Br. much to the surprise of Dennis Anderson who really didn't need another teller at that time. The teller three years later she would become my life partner and the mother of our children.

Who else but Norm Keith would drive from Yellowknofe, NWT to Ft. Simpson, NWT in the dead of winter to see our new son?

That is the kind of man Norm Keith was. We will never forget him. We owe him so much.

I just spoke to him last year and while frail he reveled in the old stories.

The world is a better place because of Norm, the BMO will not likely see the likes of him again.

God bless you my friend, Rest In Peace

Norm was a true gentleman, a good friend, and a legend in the BMO Family. I will always remember the warm smile at our Saturday breakfasts with the boys and the passion in the stories he told. You will be missed, Norm.

Norm, you were a great man that served our country to the fullest. You raised a great son in Moray. I will always remember your great sense of humor sitting with you at the Orange Helmet awards.

God Bless

Thinking of all the family as you celebrate the life of Norm Keith. We had the good fortune to spend time with him at Needa Lake during hunting season. Norm enjoyed hunting and was usually up before dawn and everyone else! He always claimed "I never miss a partridge" (well maybe one or two). Norm was fun, interesting and included us with the Keith family. The world needs more men like Norm Keith. Cheers to a remarkable man and a great Canadian!

To family of Norm Keith,

Norm was involved in the liberation of Holland including the city where I lived. I was born in Feb '45 , Norm and Co arrived shortly after. I then had the pleasure of being introduced to Norm as my first District Manger when I joined BMO in June 1966.

As Accountant at MO Edmonton years later I recall approving a cheque on his expense account for a brand New Plymouth Fury. The car buff tradition is alive and well in the Keith family.

Upon being transferred to Vancouver and retiring in 2002 I had to pleasure talking. To norm at every pensioners luncheon in clouding the one in December 2016.

All this to say I am a very fortunate person to have worked for and met this fine gentleman and proud Canadian. His picture with medals and all has been in my home office for many many years
Thanks Norm, you will rest in peace!

Norm was a close friend of my father, Victor Stilwell, until his death in 1975. They formed a strong bond in the 12th Manitoba Dragoons while overseas in France, Belgium and Holland. I reconnected with Norm 15 years ago and he was so very kind to me and shared many stories about my father. I continued visiting twice a year until last Spring. My condolences to the Keith family of whom he spoke of very proudly.
