I will remember you fondly sitting at your piano playing along to some jazz and laughing at my ridiculous leg warmers that had a face on the knees. RIP Keith, gone but certainly not forgotten xx

Have always been and forever will be my Tower of Strength. Love Chris

You were always ahead on the school running track
You have beaten me to the finishing line - again.

Grandpop. I'm so glad we made up for the past and have many happy memories with you and Lesley. I love you and miss you. Charlie xx

Rest in peace Keith.
Love Rodrigo and Charlie

Grandpop/Great grandpop (GGP) such lovely memories we all have especially over the recent years with the family gatherings. You never seemed to age to me, always the head of the table and always such love, generosity and intrest shown to us all. So sad we didnt get another chance to be together. Love always sammy,Dale,Bobby and Teddy xxxx

A Message for Keith
We met in 1991 when the cold war ended, apartheid too
And the world’s hope was renewed once more
We started with a Negroni, a welcoming cocktail for the strangers next door
Pink and intoxicating
Sudden and unexpected, like you

That roving eye, those piano hands, the rakish laugh
And jazz and singing and teaching manners to little children
A charismatic confidence, stylish swagger that never actually swaggered
A trombone and sumptuous suppers and so much laughter
On stage and off, the perfect performance

This man of his time and of all times
This consumate host and action man on sea, snow, horse and stage
This impeccable raconteur and friend
You leave us richer
And an unwelcome loneliness swells the spaces in so many lives

Where you once were

Thank you for making such a difference to Mum's life. I shall always remember you sitting with a book reading to enraptured grandchildren.

Dearest Mum
We are all so sorry for your loss and know how terribly you are missing Keith.
We have been fortunate enough to see how much you loved each other. He was a truly wonderful man and someone we all grew very fond of.
There are lots of fond memories that stick in my mind, but this is one personal to me. Keith always loved a pint so taking him out to the local for a Cornish ale in my Caterham (without windscreen no less) was an entertaining ride. We arrived windswept and peppered with insects and barely able to catch our breath. Prising Keith out of the doorless car with both of us in hysterics was no easy feat!!

You will be deeply missed.
With all our love, Andrew, Claire, Jack, Flo, Monty & Jaz xx

Keith was a true gentleman. We always enjoyed his company and conversation. Our thoughts are with Lesley and Keith’s children. Sending all our love, Keith, Lizzie, Daisy, George and Harry.

Many happy memories of you, Keith, at Old Fox Cottage. Will miss the rascally sparkle in your eye, I was so pleased to see it was still there when we met again a few years ago. You were generous and full of fun. A long life well lived. RIP

Always remembered dear Keith, for your puckish sense of humour, fun, friendship and kind support.
[Your] 'revels now are ended' and you will be surely missed.

I knew when I didn't receive a Christmas card that something was amiss. Fond memories of you and The Hampstead Players ! So sorry that we lost touch and that I didnt have a chance to say goodbye x
