I wish we weren't saying goodbye today Smithy. It just doesn't seem real. You were the 1st neighbour i met when i moved down here from Glasgow and from that moment we hit it off. Most weekends when drinking the lemonades you would question what i was saying and have a giggle about it. You were the 1 that said to Dal "why dont you ask Debs to marry you" and he did. You my friend will always be in our hearts.This is not goodbye. This is until we all meet again somewhere down the line. Blowing up butterfly kisses to you

I shall miss our chats over the garden fence and putting the World to rights over 'just a small one'!
For almost 40 years you have been the kindest, dearest friend and neighbour anyone could ever ask for, and you would always offer a helping hand.
Bon Voyage Keith, wishing you a safe journey through the stars. You are very sadly missed but will be remembered with much love ❤️ xxx

Having worked with Keith for over twenty years. I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone with a faster right jab than Keith 😂. I can still picture him putting Paul Scott in his place with afore mentioned jab. We had some laughs. Great work colleague & friend.
