Deep condolences to Judy and all the family. Keith was part of my very happy experience at St Luke's as a theology student and deacon. Talented, hard -working and a natural teacher. May all your memories be a blessing.

So very sorry to hear of Keith's passing. I have so many happy memories of singing in St Luke's choir under Keith's direction. Keith had such incredible talent and love for music, you could see how much joy it brought him. I will always remember his smile , laugh and kindness. Sending my love and condolences to Judy, Jen, Carolyn, Jeff and all of his family .

Keith was our organist and choirmaster at St Alban's Anglican Church. Under his direction the choir sang Handel's Messiah with Irene Sham singing the soprano solos. Syd Blacker, shortly afterwards to become Keith's father-in-law, recorded us using a reel to reel tape recorder. Whether true or not, we thought we sounded amazing.... good memories during teenage years.

A good-natured gentleman, who always engaged folks with a twinkle in his eye and a warm-hearted smile -- someone who folks looked forward to bumping into, that was the Keith so many of us had the good fortune to get to know, even if only casually.

Deepest condolences to Judy and the rest of the family.

We were so sad to hear about the passing of Keith. We have fond memories of the time Keith and Judy spent at 25 Triton Bay and the family cottage at Granite Lake. Keith and Harold shared a special bond. The music they created was always a special part of church services. They both loved the Easter celebration. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.

Love Cathy and Ken

My deepest condolences to Keith's family. I have great memories of Keith and his laugh whenever he and my father would get together for dinner. I could hear their laughter from out the house! I always thought there couldn't have been a better matching of musical minds in which the congregation at St. John's had the privilege of listening to.

Thoughts and prayers to Judy and family 🙏

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Keith. Keith and Judy spent many hours in past years at 25 Triton Bay with Eve and Harold Christie. Harold and Keith had a special bond at the cathedral and Granite Lake playing wonderful music on the organ. Judy and family you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave and I send our warmest blessings and can only hope Harold and Keith are sharing some music above.

Blessings to all!🙏🏻

I first encountered Keith when we both sang in the chorus of The Mikado at Kelvin school in 1954. Later we became acquainted when he was the organist and choir master at st. Luke's church. The choir was excellent and he really made the organ sing! Over many decades Keith made a huge contribution to Anglican church music in our city . He will be missed by many. My condolences to his family.

I had Mr. Tinsley as a teacher in the early 1960's at Luxton School. He provided me with a foundation for literature and music that has been a gift for my entire life. A wonderful person, a tremendous teacher. Thank you for your patience and generosity of spirit. You brought good things to the world.

Sending my thoughts and prayers. He was such a passionate player. I learned so much from watching and listening to him. He always had wisdom to share—offered with wit and generosity—and I’ve never forgotten it.

I was so very sorry to read of Keith's passing. Judy, I pray you feel some peace as you reflect on what an amazing life and family you created together. Sixty years of love is a wonderful life.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I think of you often and hope we can catch up some day my dear friend and mentor from long ago.

Our choir will sing evensongs in Ely Cathedral this July. We will hold Keith in our hearts and remember his wonderful playing there.

Condolences to the family. I was a tenor on that first All Saints' choir tri to Ely and Wells in 1979 and Keith was the organist. Many happy memories of that trip and other church musical connections with Keith over many years!

I knew Keith as a neighbor in our condominium community. His presence was solid and reinforced when he spoke with his powerful voice. His presence will be missed. My condolences to the family.

My memories of Keith go back to our Manpower days at the Cathedral & Main office. I wondered if I had made a mistake joining the Feds when I saw all the 'gray-haired' folks at the downtown office and then was told I'd be part of a newer office in the North end. Keith was part of that group, along with many of the newbies. We all felt we could make a difference in the lives of our clients. Initially, we shared a ride into the office and had the chance for some intense chats. I remember his quit wit, delightful accent and his passion for those things for which he deeply cared, especially his family and his music.

My deepest Sympathy to Judy and family.

Mr. Tinsley, the music teacher at Elmwood High in the late '60s had an incredbile gift to see the best in each student and encourage ALL to participate in operettas such as HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and more. I was a rather reluctant "Josephine" with little to no musical ability, but Mr. Tinsley assured me I was the perfect fit for the character...probably because I sang loudly in the chorus, but with one small solo line. His passion inspired so many of us, despite our interest or level of ability.....a true "teacher".

The house by the park. As a friend of Jeff's growing up I spent a lot of time at Keith and Judy's house. He was always very kind and welcoming, along with Judy and Jeff's sisters. That deep voice with the English accent - not going to lie, scared me sometimes - especially when Jeff and I were up to no good, but upon reflection I think it came with a somewhat sarcastic tone. In his mind he was probably thinking "you idiots" with a chuckle. I'll always remember that house, and the park right next to it - as it is basically across the street from where I currently live!

I've lost touch with Jeff over the years, such as life, but just wanted to share my condolences. Take care.

My fondest memories of Elmwood High School were playing in the band and many wonderful operettas under the tutelage of Arthur Buss and Keith, respectively. I auditioned with Keith to take part in the operettas, and remember his request to sing the middle note of the there notes he played on the piano. He welcomed me to the make-up team! He was kind, generous with his spirit and time. My deepest condolences to his family.

I first met Keith when he engaged me as a soloist at St Luke’s. His knowledge and love of Anglican Church music knew no bounds, and he instilled that same enthusiasm in me. I will be forever grateful for the musical opportunities he provided, especially our weeklong residency at Winchester Cathedral.

My deepest condolences to Judy and family. May his memory be a blessing to you always.

Sincere condolences to Judy and family. We have pleasant memories of good chats, potlucks and happy times by the pool in Arizona.

My condolences to Keith's family. My brief exposure to his musical talent came during my two years with the Winnipeg Boys Choir in particular the week leading up t0 Christmas when he herded us unruly "cats" into a singing group for our week long stint in Eston's Grill Room. Brilliant.
