Keith was a passionate Councillor for Solway Ward, Boroondara. He genuinely cared about creating a wonderful place to live and particularly helped Ashburton Shopping Centre work around bureaucratic Council regulations so that we could deliver exciting and cutting edge promotional activities. His legendary Saturday morning 'cheesey toast & coffee' meetings outside High Street Ashburton Cafes really brought Council to the people. We miss you Keith.Liz

Just over sixty years ago a young Keith arrived in the U.K. with Alison. He came to the local Presbyterian Church in Finchley and in a seeming blink of the eye he was a tower of strength and inspiration to the Scout Troop, and I am immensely grateful for his guidance and support to me in a very unobstrusive way. In subsequent visits to the U.K. we learned if his immense range of interests: as an architect, with Rotary, in the community, for the church, for cricket, and for an amazing range of international links and projects over many years. He will be sadly missed, and I send my loving sympathy to the whole family. He was a 'bridge-builder', calm, thoughtful, and inspirational, and with strengths and abilities that the world really needs. Alan

Dearest Dad,Rest in Peace. You were my Hero and protector. You made me feel safe. You and Mum created a loving, happy environment for me to grow and flourish in. You helped everyone in any way you could. You invited people into your home. You went to remote destinations to help people. You are one of God's great servants. If I can be half the person you were I will be Blessed. Love you and miss you so much....your possum

Hi KeithMy years in Rotary started with you and David visiting my home to work out if I was a suitable candidate, I guess the jury is still out if you made the right choice, Thanks for your guidance and interest, for the doors you opened and your genuine passion for others.

So sad to hear about Keiths' passing. I knew him as a keen advocate for ordinary people when he was a Councillor in the late 90s, particularly on the pokies issue. Such an insightful and gentle man. My warmest wishes go to his family at this time.
