My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Keir was always kind to me and made me feel like one of the family when ever I spent time with Andrew hanging out at your place. He was an important part of your family and I am sure he will be deeply missed.
May God be with him and you all during this time,
Mike
Dear Carrie and Family, we are deeply sorry at the loss of Keir. We know you will miss him so very much as a husband, father and grandfather and as one who was actively involved in family in a caring way. We will not be able to personally express our sympathy as we will be in Halifax attending an Atlantic Assembly for our Christian Life Community which takes place every three years. We will keep you in our hearts and prayers. Bill and Beulah
I worked for Keir at the Regional Air Cadet Camp at CFB Greenwood for several years. He spent many additional hours providing support, guidance and mentorship to staff and Cadets. He will be dearly missed. Sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at the difficult time. It’s has been several years since I seen you guys but I do remember spending many summer in Greenwood with you all and even getting time to spend at our campsite with Heather while on Band Camp. These memories will never be forgotten. Remember he will be looking down and protecting you all.
God Bless

Hello Carrie,
Betty and I returned from Halifax on Friday to read about Keir’s passing.
We would like to extend our condolences to you and your family.
It’s a long time since we were school mates at Summerside High, but I still think about those days all the time.
If you are in Stratford please drop in at any time.
Betty and I are well and would love to see you.
Best regards,
Garth Jenkins
Keir was my teacher in elementary school, my CO in Air Cadets and a neighbor at one point. I remember his patience and commitment to young people including myself. I’m truly sorry to hear of his death and hope the good Keir did in life will be a source of pride and consolation for his family.

Dear Carrie,
I am so glad that I got to see his smile and share a laugh with Keir earlier this summer; we miss him around our place. I was saddened to hear of his passing. It was such a joy to work with Kier. I loved his sense of humour and a great sense of pride for his family. He loves you all.
I sincerely enjoyed Kier very much and I considered him a friend. I will miss him.
God Bless You and Yours with Peace and Comfort.
Sincerely,
Bruce & Shirley MacNaughton
