I will miss your visits Brother Keith will be happy to see you as the 2 of you really got along great - Posted by: Bruce Forsyth (Friend) on: Jan 16, 2024

• Karen and Family Please accept our sincere condolences Losing a spouse is an unimaginable pain Words cannot express how shocked and saddened we were to learn of Keith's sudden passing I first met Kieth when we worked together at the City of Winnipeg Pandora Shop in the 70's. We both had a passion for cars and over the years we developed a friendship I have fond memories of going to the Fifties and Bunking with Kieth. (most notable were the socks he wore that had the days of the week on the bottom) Kieth would often drop by for a visit to show us a new car that he had purchased the last being the Miata We lost touch over last years but always managed run in to each other or make a phone call He will be sadly missed by all who knew him - Posted by: Lou and Diane Asselin (friend) on: Nov 25, 2023

• My condolences to the family. I have many fond childhood memories of spending time at the Lalonde home. The gruff exterior scared the heck out of me as a little kid. The older I got the more I was able to realize the heart of gold. I am so glad that I got to spend time with Keith at a family birthday party just a couple of weeks ago. With love & hugs, Laurie - Posted by: Laurie Cerqueti (Lavis) (Friend of the family) on: Nov 25, 2023
