Remember Keith, (standing up beside the seat) driving his wee red tractor down the road to fed out, and always so very courteous. Slowing right down, going past us kids on our ponies…

So sorry to hear of Keith’s passing, we extend our thoughts and sympathy to Andrew, Mary, Irene and your families at this sad time. Keith was a worker and a real pioneering legend in the valley. We remember his riding his horse with cowboy hat, his red Fergie tractor haymaking, and cutting firewood. RIP Keith
Heartfelt condolences to Andrew, Mary, Irene and all Keith’s loved ones.
We have been very privileged to have known such a kind generous man in our lives.
Keith gave us a corner of his land when we moved to this special place as in his view we were an asset to the valley.
To do anything for him he always gave twice as much back.
His knowledge and stories were amazing as was his humour.
The Matriarch of the Kowhitirangi Valley will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace gentleman Keith with your beloved Brenda. 🌹🌹

Our condolences to you all on the sad passing of your Dad, it was nice to speak with him at the family reunion and to see he still had his wit about him.
