Condolences for the family of “HUDSON: Thomas “Keith” of Middlesex Centre”

Condolence from Anita and Don Leschied on January 15th, 2021 7:41 PM

Great Grandma Blanche Stark of Michigan, just wanted her great grandchildren Ashlyn, Lexi, and Kyle to know she was thinking of you today and didn’t know if she could send some flowers but she thought the Food Bank was a better way she could honour your Grandpa Keith. It was always easy to banter with Keith and see who could give the best jab. His twinkle in his eyes made you know if he had a good come back up his sleeve. We will always fondly remember Ruth and Keith dancing at Jon and Christina’s wedding, a partnership built on love and trust and forged through many years of working together. May you all know that you were blessed to have a very special man for so long in your lives.

Ruth and Family

So sorry to hear about Keiths passing. I always enjoyed talking to Keith when he stopped in with his pickup and later on with his golf cart at the Armitage and Donaldson farms. We always had a good laugh about something going on around the area. Going to miss seeing him traveling 8 mile with the golf cart. I think he had a path wore in the road from his travels between the farms.

Thinking about all of you at this difficult time

Condolence from Linda and Rob Salts on January 20th, 2021 9:34 PM

Ruth and family,
We are so sad to hear about Keith’s passing.
Please accept our sincere condolences. May all the good memories and your family and friends sustain you.
Linda and Rob Salts

Condolence from Bill Warmels and Liliane Le Saux on January 21st, 2021 12:41 PM

Our sincere condolences to you Ruth and Jon and the whole family. Keith will surely be missed by us all on Eight Mile. He was a good and likeable neighbour. I was fortunate to buy Keith’s 1120 many years ago and still think of him each time I get on that tractor. He was easy to to talk with, usually at Dave’s. Keith, with his often barbed humour, taught me the aesthetics of hats by jokingly saying to me “Did you get that guy!?”
Over the last year his covered golf cart was noticeable driving towards Dave’s and we would have a chat. I still can’t believe he’s passed. The virtual services were well appreciated. Thank you.

Condolence from Marion and Joe Duncan on January 21st, 2021 1:40 PM

Ruth and Family

Our condolences on Keith’s passing. May the love of family and friends and memories carry you through these sad times.

Condolence from Diane dixon on January 22nd, 2021 9:32 PM

A sad day to hear Keith passed away. The first time I met Keith , 1974, he was directing me to the proper late bus, and the last time I saw him was two months ago when he was helping my neighbour find her lost dogs. Driving his cart up and down eight mile keeping an eye out and talking to anyone who happen to be on the road. A lovely, friendly man who would think nothing of helping anyone.
