Best wishes from Olivia & family xxAugust 28, 2025 9:49 pm
My Dad loved this man,. The connection they had as kids and as adults was unwavering, even though the physical distance between them grew bigger through dad moving to south Australia with mum and us kids to have a better life. When they did catch up i it was like they saw each other yesterday, bonded as kids and family men.
A beautiful uncle and man, a true gentleman, and so fortunate that he had time to spend with my sons also.
Sadly missed, respected and loved.
Love Ken, Tay and our beautiful kids, all lucky to meet him and spend time with him, Baden, Kyle, Ethan and Jesse.
Much love to everyone xxxAugust 28, 2025 9:17 pm

Dear Uncle Keith,
You will always be remembered as a gentle Uncle who had a sparkle about him and a kindness that was everpresent, and did not need words. I will miss you and I will never forget you.
To Aunty Maree, Linda, Tony, Gayle, Choc, Uncle Keith's beautiful and loyal grandchildren, precious great grandchildren and fur babies _ I am sorry for your loss, and I am wrapping my arms around you.
I know that Steve and little Nanna will be with you. May you rest in peace.
Love, Leah xAugust 25, 2025 6:08 pm
It was all those little things that made you a great man. The cups of coffee and chats we had when you called in to see me, the big hugs and a kiss on the cheek every time we parted, the messages at night to see if all was ok. Everyone of them ended with an “I love you”. I will always treasure these and many more memories.
You were so much more that a brother in law. You will be missed and remembered by everyone who knew you.
To Maree, Linda and Tony, Gayle and Choc and all the treasured grandchildren and great grandchildren I am so sorry for your loss 💕
Loved and remembered forever.
