Sincere sympathy to the Buchanan family. Keith's infectious smile, will always be remembered as the brightest star in the sky. My fondest memory of Keith,was listening to Barry and Keith singing, (the Alvie footy theme song). A lovely father and son moment. A beautiful memory ❤️
Keith certainly was a very proud Alvie and family man. With countless stories and giggles,to share with everyone.
What a legend.
Go the Red and the White.
RIP Mr.Alvie.

Grandpa, I will, cherish all of the memories made with you for the rest of my life. I can tell you that my most cherished memory with you would how you would always have an endless supply of snacks for us grandkids even if at times the were out of date because you forgot how many snacks you’d buy!
You always thought of others and brought a lot of joy to everyone around you.
You will be forever missed and most certainly loved by us all.
I love you grandpa
