I will always remember the comfort and warmth of the McNamee home on Linwood Street. I spent many happy times there as a child with Don, Gord and Patty. The table was always loaded with great food and we had many happy conversations around it. Keith had a quiet, understated manner, and his calm, steady and genial presence was essential to that happy family feeling. Olga and Keith provided a great example to all of us of what a truly supportive and loving marriage is, and how its warmth extends seemingly effortlessly to those lucky enough to be near.
