We are very sorry to learn of Keith’s passing. Please accept our sincerest condolences extended to all members of the Van Rys family.
We have many fond memories of our times with Uncle Keith. He always loved a good drive and we much appreciated his visits to Ottawa and to Toronto. His easy laugh was infectious and we’ll miss him dearly.
Hi Betty, we are very sorry to read that Keith passed away. We have very fond memories of good times at Amway and especially the Christmas Party at Frank and Joyce Wilson’s. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family
at this time.
