Keith was a great childhood mate of my family when he lived at 392 Oxford Terrace. We were at 10 Willow St Keith taught me how to lose gracefully and consistently when we played chess. He was not only an amazing Citizen of our great country he was part of an amazing
family Our thoughts are with you Keith and kind wishes to your family at this sad time. Kind regards

Very sorry to hear of Keith's passing. I didn't know him personally but was always impressed by his integrity. He was always a good supporter of Amnesty International, and his passing was marked at the AGM on Saturday. He also supported my local group's quiz nights, sometimes with a winning team! Condolences to his family.

My thoughts are with Keith's family and friends mourning his loss. Two words typify him: integrity and love. He was an inspiration to me when I migrated to NZ and joined the NZ Greens via the NSW Greens.

Many happy memories of yarns at Galbraith's pre-Covid, and Alliance days with Keith and Maire before that. I'm glad Keith lived to see the start of the green energy transition! My condolences to all.

Very saddened to read of Keith`s passing. I often walked into the city with her around the harbor when he was in Parliament he was going to work there and I was going to my legal practice. I knew him from university days. I hope there is a memorial service in Wellington for those who knew him here. my condolences to his family and friends. Peter Cullen.

Sincere condolences to Michele, Maire, and family for your huge loss. Keith was a good friend and colleague in People with Parkinsons. Among his many gifts an astonishing ability to recognise in my son Julian's voice the cadences of my candyfloss Uncle Jim Andrews.
