1962 a youthful Peacekeeper with 56 Tpt Coy RCASC UNEF1.
Keith was the epitome of a Canadian Peacekeeper, then with his years in Germany as part of 4 CIBG NATO in Soest. Where he met his beloved Fenna Brinkman. Herself the daughter of another Corps member. John Brinkman.
As a young soldier just one year out of the Apprentice program I met Keith in Germany. Although the same age He was considered an old soldier as he had UN Service Medal. He was always smiling and a pleasure to serve with.
Keith was an amiable soldier who had the utmost respect of his soldiers as he progressed through the ranks. In his retirement years he spent time organizing many RCASC Association events. A true man of the Corps.
To his wife Fenna and their children and grandchildren please remember this Keith was loved and respected by his fellow soldiers, and by everyone who crossed his path. A good man taken too early. Rest in Peace Keith your Duty done.
