"Keith is a good person, a very nice man, and a wonderful neighbour.
So the story goes, my father was in the last stages of cancer and approached Keith to ask him "Will you help my wife in maintaining her property when I'm gone?"
What an ask! That was over 20 years ago. Since my father’s passing, Keith mowed the lawn and cleared the snow. Gosh knows what other little jobs Keith has done to help my mother. Keith kept his commitment for many many years. He retired from my mom's employment a few years ago but he remains a good neighbour!
Beyond on all the odd jobs, Keith nurtured a lovely neighbourly relationship with my mother. He helped a widowed senior to stay in her home and maintain pride of ownership. I can’t put into words the kindness Keith extended to my mother - his neighbour - two houses away and across the street. So I’ll keep it simple and say thank you Keith from the bottom of my heart."
