“It is only tonight that we heard the news of Keith's passing. He leaves us with armfuls of memories and so much love for a gracious man and loyal friend. We shared our lives with him and Jane in Nakusp while we lived there and valued his creativity, his passion for ceramics and glazes, his quick wit and warm connections and his love of his family. He generously donated the upstairs room above the pottery for an art studio for me when I needed a large space and I loved it there. We miss you Keith”
