I used to visit him and Veronica regularly when I worked as a carer. We became friends. We still kept in touch after I went back home through phone calls from Malaysia on Christmas. He was such a lovely person. I promised him that I would come back and visit him. And now I'm here, but he is gone. I'm so sad.

I have such fond memories of my visits with you Keith. Getting to know you, hearing your stories. Learning about your father's story. Thank you for your friendship. I will miss you but hold you in my memory for ever.

Keith was great on the organ very talented. He had been a chorista at Christ's College and at the Christchurch Cathedral as a young man.

Oh no I'm so sad to hear this and I wish I had known he only had a little time left... I last spoke to him early this year. I had a special time with Keith, sharing lots of of his life stories and memories. Interviewing him for a book about the Anglican Trust for Women and Children and of course helping him with his overdue homework - his report on fishing in the 1960s as part of his Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship . We became good friends. Please pass on my thoughts to Charles who I heard so much about.
