I was very sorry to hear about Keith passing away. I was not able to get to the visitation or funeral to convey my sympathy at this sad time. Keith was an active participant in our Schomberg United Church community. He was at one point a Sunday School Superintendent, and a member of the Property and Finance committee. Keith was always ready to help with our Chilli Station at Main Street Christmas. He will be greatly. missed. Patti Agnew

Dear Joan and family,
I’m very sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. Not only was he married into the Breedon family, he was our insurance agent for as long as I can remember. He’d come and visit with Dad in the garage as well as family functions with Joan.
May your memories help to give you comfort in the days to come. May he rest in peace.
Ted and Lynn Bird says
Dear Joan, Wendy, Greg and family,
Lynn and I extend our sincere condolences to you all.
We are very saddened to hear of Keith’s passing on Monday.
Keith and you have been our neighbour and friends for over fifty years and we are celebrate and thankyou for that. We are glad both Wendy and Greg grew up with our two sons David and Paul and were friends through their younger years and hopefuly remain so.
We will miss Keith bringing us vegetables from his garden and helping to clear snow with his truck in the winters. We will miss the casual conversations we had in our driveways, from time to time, when he walked Barley.
May the memories of Keith be a blessing to you all as they will be to us.
Sincerely, Lynn and Ted Bird

Nancy Hopkinson says
So shocked to hear of the passing of Keith. He was a faithful member of Schomberg United Church for years. I saw him on occasions when our churches (I am at Nobleton United) joined together, and we were on the Joint M & P committee together years ago.
I saw him when I went to some of the Seniors’ lunches hosted by Schomberg United. I saw him at the Wednesday Hymn Sings and Pot Luck. He always looked the same to me. I saw him at the Campbell’s picnic in the summer. He was always polite and friendly.
Melissa Ayers says
Wendy, Noah & family, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Keith was such a true friend. We had the greatest discussions about our families and dogs. I can’t imagine the many lives he has touched with his kindness and sincere caring. Will be greatly missed.
Ken Wray says
So sad to hear of Keith’s passing. Besides being my insurance agent for most of my life he has been a great friend and neighbour. His kindness to my father in his later years, picking him up for church and stopping in for visits was very much appreciated. My condolences to Joan and family.
