Keith
joined Burleigh Heads RSL in 1995 and was a very active member
until the last few years when his mobility was seriously hindered.
Keith's health has been a serious concern for quite some years,
mainly the after-effects from his imprisonment as a POW in Changi.
Keith
has been a member of the RSL since 1950 and was a valued member
for both Gladesville and Nelson Bay in NSW. Keith also had been
a very active member of the TPI AssociatIon in his earlier years
here on the coast and was their Secretary for some time. Keith
often commented that he was sorry that he could not be more
active within our Sub-branch. Keith was always cheerful and
was a real battler. Keith will be missed by all those that knew
him.
Keith
and his son, Robert, shared that kind of unique bond that can
never be broken. Robert's wife, Julie, knew Keith's pain and
suffering perhaps better than most. Robert and Julie are both
members of our Sub-branch. Our thoughts and prayers go out to
them. Keith is also survived by his grand-daughter Michelle
and his two great grand-children, Seth and David.
Please
try and attend to farewell a comrade and pay your last respects!

time has come for rest, old soldier, your duty is done"

We forget"
