    So so sorry to hear of the passing of Keith, please accept my deepest condolences, my thoughts are with you all, Barbara, Stewart, Karen, his sister Irene and all their extended families. He was a life long friend, grew up together, in the same class at school. As teenagers went on holiday to Butlins Holiday Camp Pwllheli Wales. Have lots of happy memories of Keith and Barbara and after emigrating to Canada visits to England, nights out at Rivington Barn, night club to see Tommy Cooper, reunion nights in Ye Olde Oak Inn, the last time was in 2016, I’d lost my wife Norma in 2014, but we had some nice trips out, local pubs and restaurants, days out in the Lake District, ferry on Lake Windermere. I’ve got lots of fond memories. God Bless and RIP Keith.

    Cousins born 80 years ago on opposite sides of Bolton (UK) lived 6 miles from each other (2 bus rides) such a long way from each other such a short fleeting time. Recently got back together, as though never separated. Sincere condolences to Barbara, Irene and families. Rest in Peace Keith

    Keith was one of the best. A great friend, fine golfer, and a real gentleman. His only weakness was his play from the sand traps. He will certainly be missed.
