I am so sorry to hear of your loss! Keith and myself were friends when living in the apartments in Kelowna on Bernard ave. He was such a kind and beautiful man, I noticed how he was with Sandi a bipolar woman in the apartment below me, he was always so kind and helped her in so many ways. We all became friends! I moved out of the province,  and we talked over the phone but my partner at the time was very jealous of Keith, I should have told my partner at the time to take a hike,  Im sorry Keith that I wasn’t the friend I should have been. Love you and's miss you so much always an forever!! ❤️ So much love Theresa 💕😔😢

After all these years, so sorry to hear this news. 
I was inspired to look you up while watching some Jimmy Page video footage, because I never forgot the time you looked at me with a certain, well a kinda hypnotic stare and in no uncertain terms said, Jimmy Page is God  . 
We shared a special friendship, where time was irrelevant, even after we both moved away from saskatoon. 
Your memory will live with me forever  . Your old teen buddy and neighbor,

I knew something was amiss when I didn't hear from Keith on New Years!  We were great friends from the 80's when he lived in Toronto.  So long ago.   It was tradition that we both would call each other on New Years!  He would call me at 9:00 pm from Kelowna to wish me a Happy New Year.  We lost contact with each other for about 2 years in the 90's, after I moved in with my then partner.  He looked up my last name and contacted my father to re-connect with me. 
  
He didn't call me this year, and I actually thought that maybe he met someone special.  I tried calling him today to wish him a Happy Birthday.  When the number came up as disconnected, I remained optimistic, until this search online.  I wanted to believe it wasn't him, until I saw the birth date, and the first tear that dropped down my cheek was followed by many more.  

Keith, was a beautiful, kind, warm, very funny friend.  Always gave me words of encouragement, and happy thoughts in my trying days.  I was planning on visiting with him in Kelowna this year. 

My very deepest condolences to his family and friends.  I will miss him very, very much.  All my love. 
I will light a candle in memory of him today.  Even writing this ... I am heart broken.  A 31  year friendship is hard to come by, especially when you live so far apart... I'll never forget him.

Fortunately, for me, I have the sound of his voice on my answering machine from his birthday wish to me last August. Funny... the things we keep. 

If anyone from his family gets this note, please contact me.

Although I had not talked to Keith in many years,  when I heard of his passing my heart hurt very much.  We had shared 
many wonderful times together in the past. I've thought of him often when I heard certain songs on the radio and always wondered;  is he still playing the guitar? drinking a beer in the sun?  handsome as ever?  Time goes by very quickly, I'll always cherish the memories we had. May you rest in peace Keith.
