Our deepest sympathies to Garnet's family, especially his son and closest friend, David. Garnet will be remembered in our house, often and well. In all the years we knew him, he never lost his spirit, regardless of his own bumps and bruises. Nor did he lose his ability to tell a great story - we covered many topics together, including his experiences in the war, building the Ivy Lea bridge, local politics, family and most importantly, hockey! He took great care of us, as well as our dogs (spoiling them both, even the grumpy one). It has actually been extraordinary to hear the reaction to his passing from our "circle" of family and friends... virtually everyone we knew had met Garnet at some point and all were saddened by the news. We're grateful to have had him in our lives and will remember him always. Larry, Paula, David & Sheridan (Jackal & Tiger Lily) xox

I have known Garnet Keyes since we bought our cottage on Dark Island Lane, in 1999. I was only five then and have grown close to him ever since. He watched out for us and would take care of our gardens when we were not there. He always remembered my birthday with a special cake and visit. He also looked after our dogs when we had to be away and spoiled them, too. Whenever I saw Garnet he had a smile on his face. He could be a stubborn man but I think that's what kept him going all those years. He was like a grandfather to me and he will always be remembered. I love him and will miss him very much!

With Deepest Sympathy to the Keyes family. Garnet was a very nice gentleman, enjoyed visits with him when I worked for Red Cross as his homemaker. He was a very cooperative person and talkative, talked alot about his family and all the good times. God bless you have alot of good memories.

My condolences to Garnet's family on the loss of a loving father and grandfather. I hadn't met Garnet before, but my brother worked with him for years and always said he was the nicest gentleman it was his pleasure to know. Then, when I was researching the Italian Campaign, I was able to have a few visits with him which I enjoyed very much. Very quiet and unassuming, and obviously not one to talk much about himself, I did get him to talk a bit about his wartime experiences. They're never happy memories, so I found it best to let him tell me the memories he was comfortable with. I'm sure the happy memories of your mother and father growing up will sustain you through this time. With sincere sympathies to you all, Geraldine Chase
