Keith - my colleague, my mentor, my voice of calm in the midst of any storm but most importantly a treasured friend. From looking up to you at my first NFSP conference, having the privilege of working alongside you on the Executive Council and Board to working together for the last number of years within the NFSP organisation I have enjoyed every moment.
You were compassionate, kind, and generous in ways that touched every person fortunate enough to cross your path. You had the rare gift of making others feel seen and valued, whether through a quiet word of encouragement or your unwavering support during difficult times, you showed a pure and constant passion for helping Postmasters. Your humour could lighten even the heaviest day, I will miss the laughter we shared more than words can express.
You were a mentor not just in the work we did, but in the way you lived your life. You led with empathy, integrity, and patience - always ready to guide, support, or simply listen. Many of us found confidence in ourselves because you believed in us first. Your impact on our team, our organisation, and our lives is immeasurable.
What stands out most, though, was the deep love you held for your family. You spoke of them often with pride, gratitude, and tenderness. They were your anchor and greatest joy. Knowing how much you cherished them reminds us of the fullness with which you approached life, always rooted in love.
You shared your kindness, humour, and compassion freely with all who knew you. You were truly one of a kind, and your legacy will live on in the many lives you changed for the better.
It is difficult to imagine life without you, my friend. We will miss you deeply but your memory will continue to guide, inspire, and comfort us all.
Much love to Linda, your children, grandchildren and the whole family circle
Sleep easy my friend
Lots of love from Wendy and Sam xx
