Dear Marg and Family:
We were so sorry to read about Keith’s passing. It seems we had just touched base again with you folk and now to lose Keith. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Marg. and your family.
Dear Margaret, I was so sad to learn of Keith’s passing, evidently following some time in hospital. I do assure you and family of my loving thoughts and prayers. My brother and sister-in-law Geoff and Mary and their family join me in this message. With lots of love, Ruth
Please accept my sympathy in the loss of Keith. I enjoyed working with him at City Hall. You could ask him anything about the Committee of Ajustment and he instantly knew all the facts about an issue. My sincere sympathy.
Marg, David, Sue and families,
Each time we met, Keith exuded a warmth together with an enthusiastic welcome that will always be remembered. We shared similiar outlooks on life and Keith enjoyed a wonderful understanding.
Godparents to our children, Keith was one of the most genuine people we have known. Our conversations and time spent together will always be remembered.
It has been a privilege to have had him as a friend. Rest in peace.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY
Dear Marg, Dave, Nancy, Bob, Sue, Nathan, Luke, Cara & Emily:
We’re so sorry we’re unable to join you in the celebration of Keith’s life this Saturday. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we know we will feel his presence as we open the cottage this weekend and think of him as we watch the goose and gander and the little ones hatch, watch the sailboats go by, or fish — so many wonderful times we spent together on Narrows Island – so many special memories. We’ll miss his gentle friendship.
With our love,
Ed & Sue, Jeannine & Nick, Jill & Jon, Kaia and Alexander
Mrs. Hessel, Sue, Bob, Cara, Emily, Dave, Nancy, Nathan, Luke, My thoughts are with all of you as you celebrate the life of a very special man.

We are so sorry to hear about Mr Hessel’s passing. We as a family have wonderful memories of visiting the cottage; Bryan said it was the ‘best place I have been.’ We hope your fond memories of him help you through this difficult time; we are thinking about you.
