My sincerest condolences to Elsie and Family. My fondest memory of Keith is when I met him at your Neighbours the Kennett's home and I seen his socks were on backwards and I asked him why, he proceeded to tell me they were Conn socks. I will always remember that. Thoughts and prayers with you all now and in the days to come.
