Keith and Gisele have been my neighbours for the past 10 years. Everyone who past their house, got a friendly “hello”, a friendly chat and wishes for a good day. Keith had a huge heart and would do anything for those he cared for. My whole family and partner will miss his caring and cheerful ways more than we know.
Al Ruffolo
I am so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing.
He was a great man who took me under his arm when I joined the Bolton Kinsmen Club and became a mentor to me in regards to the service club.
I was lucky enough to be club President and was honoured to present Keith with a special award for his long time service dedication.
I will miss him.
Al Ruffolo.

Louis Archambault
Dear friends and family,
I had the pleasure of working with Keith over the past two seasons at Eagle Ridge. You always knew when he was in the room. His presence was uplifting, and he always had subtle ways of passing on his help and wisdom at the club, in guiding myself and others in our jobs and personal lives. His heart will be missed.
My deepest regards and condolences,
Louis Archambault
Steve
So sorry to hear about Keith’s passing. I’ve worked at Eagle Ridge for the past 5 seasons. I mostly work weekend mornings, so I saw Keith regularly. He always was bright and cheerful. He looked very well at the staff Christmas party. Very sorry to hear the news.
Kevin King
Hearing of Keith’s passing came as both a shock and sadness to everyone who knew him. Keith always had a smile on his face, and could make you laugh with just about anything he did.
I met Keith at Eagle Ridge three years ago when I started working there, but a guy like Keith is the type of guy that instantly you feel like you’ve known forever. He was a great person.
Keith, you’re in a better place now, we will all miss you.

We lost Keith, this was a shock,
He is going to be a big lost to many lives in Georgetown. We are all saddened by his passing. Rest in peace, Keith.
Gisele, my heart goes to you. We are going to look after you – all of us. Keith would have wanted that way. You made him a happy man and all his friends knew it.
Our prayers are with both of you. He is going to look over you to make sure you are alright
Fran & Al and all your friends
Dennis Moffatt
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Keith. He was the life blood of the Kinsmen Club of Bolton. He never missed a meeting and injected spirit and controversy into almost every one of them. He made a point to greet and speak with each individual present – every time.
On our many inter-club visits, Keith was usually first to meet & greet members of other clubs. He had countless friends in the clubs throughout our district.
Keith enthusiastically gave his support and time to virtually all activities the Bolton club undertook.
If Keith put the same amount of enthusiasm into the rest of his life as he did into KIN, he had a very fulfilling life indeed.
Dennis Moffatt, Past President and proud retired member of the
Kinsmen Club of Bolton
Charlie & Colette
This was a shock for us when we received the phone call that my brother in-law (Keith) has passed away. My wife was telling me that Keith was the one that gave her, her first job at the Meadowglen. We knew him for at least 25 years or so. He was always teasing some of the family members for one reason or another. He would never stop, he was always on the go, he was energetic. The one thing he did was he filled my sister’s (Gisele) heart with love for many years. This love will still go on for years to come. You will be missed but not forgotten.
Gisele brother (Charles) and family

Megan Doran
This was definatley shocking news, I worked with Keith at the golf course he was always willing to lend a hand. Every Saturday and Sunday he would have a cart ready for me to head out on the course. Always talked about “the woman of the house”. Great man that will surley be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to the family.
Paige Boucher
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Keith’s passing.
I had the pleasure to have met Keith last summer in my first season working at Eagle Ridge golf course. He immediately took me under his wing and always made sure I was okay. I remember he would always have a golf cart ready for me in the morning, and would make sure I had everything before I went out to the Halfway, and when I forgot something (which was often) he would come to the rescue immediately. He had a big heart, and I cannot imagine working my first season without him, he taught me so much. Although it was only for a short time, he was a pleasure to work with. I am grateful to have the pleasure of knowing him, he will be missed. Rest in peace Keith.
My deepest condolences go out to Gisele whom he spoke of often.
Paige Boucher
Ruth Schaffer
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Keith. In addition to the many memories of this long-time friendly neighbour of the Clarkson family, one of our fondest is of the personal tour of the mushroom plant that Keith arranged back in the 1980’s; his knowledge of the production process was enthusiastically shared.
Keith’s comfortable presence will be missed by all who knew him.
Our prayers are with you.
Ruth and Darrell Schaffer,
Redcliff, AB

Keith McCabe will be dearly missed. He was an all around great man and could be counted on whenever you felt you needed a helping hand or some uplifting word. Eagle Ridge will not be the same with out him.
He will be greatly missed.

IT IS A VERY SAD DAY TO HEAR OF KEITH’S PASSING OUR CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND GISELE MEL & ANNA
Teresa Pollitt
For the past few years before I start my shift at the Bennett Center, I would stop and get my Timmy’s, and every morning there would be a smiling face accompanied with a “Good Morning my friend”
Keith was the start to our mornings, as I imagine to most people that got their morning coffee there. You could not walk into that store and not know who Keith was. So much so, that when I walked in there this week, and Keith wasn’t in his “usual greeting chair” I felt that somethig was off.
Mornings just aren’t the same.
My heart felt condolences to Keith’s wife ( who Keith always told us was his best friend) and to the rest of his family.
Keith touched many of us, even if it was with a simple “Good morning my friend”
Betty and George Forbes
So sorry to hear the sudden passing of Keith, our thoughts and prayers go out to you Gisele. Keith will always be looking over you as you always look over the one you love. He will be missed by all. Keep your head high Gisele he would not want it any other way.
Love Betty & George Forbes
Angie, Mark, Kieran, Brynn and Alida Shepherd
The neighbourhood will never be the same without Keith keeping a watchful eye on all of us. Kieran will especially miss “Hi bud” greetings from across the street.
Gisele, our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family .

That day that you left us was a very sad day. You will be missed. Mom won’t have to give you a call anymore because you will be there with all of them and I won’t get a call from you to say a few words and then say that Gisele wanted to talk to me. Do not not worry, Gisele will be find with the support of all her family, friends and neighbors. We will be looking after her and you will be doing the same from where you are.
We miss you. Fernande Denis

I am saddened to hear of Keith’s passing. I have had the pleasure of knowing Keith as a fellow Kinsman for over 40 years. He was a friend who had a sincere interest in everyone he met. We shared many good times, many laughs, and many deep conversations, always for the good of his community.

I was shocked to hear of Keith’s passing. I worked with Keith at Eagle Ridge . Each day we were on shift together was always fun. Keith loved to joke and poke fun. I will miss him as will everyone else, staff and members. He brought sunshine even when it rained. All the best to his family.

Dear Helen John & Children
We were very sorry to hear of Keith’s sudden passing. Sorry we were not able to be with you at this sad time but our thoughts and prayers were. I don’t think the Santa Claus Parade will ever be the same in Bolton without Keith there to get Jolly St. Nick through the town. We did see him yet again this year gettin the parade through town.
Our sympathy

Gord Kenmir
We were all shocked to hear the news. The sudden passing of an old friend. The condolences of my family go out to Keith’s family
friends, and acquaintances for their loss. As you read these messages you realize that Keith made a lot of friends over his 78 years. I am proud to have known him and to have been considered one of his Kinsmen friends for the past 36 years.
We all learned something from Keith McCabe, either a lesson in life, which he taught us, or perhaps a word of wisdom to follow and conduct our lives by. We all perhaps received different lessons, but we all came away being better persons for
having known him.
We’ll miss you buddy, your warm handshake, and friendly smile, but we will always remember you.

Dear Helen and family
I was out of the country and just read about Keith’s passing. My first thought was years ago when I worked at the Village Grill. It was Keith’s routine to come in each day and meet with Mr. Wiggs. The would sit there drink their coffee and usually complain about something. I always loved their passionate stances on plotics and such. Keith was definitely an important part of our town.
Helen ,the both of you were great neighbours when I was growing up.
My thoughts are with all of you.
Love
