I remember the first time I met “Pops”, Keith, it was his son Derek’s Wedding. Derek married my life long Best Friend Kelly. I didn’t know what he was going to think of me, as I danced on a table at the Wedding to Stompin Toms, Sudbury Saturday night. Keith came over to me and asked if I was going to do that on every table. From that moment on, he became an integral part of our lives. The chats we had up in Bobcaygeon, having a few wobbly pops together. We were and always will be intrigued by him, kind, caring and most of all lovable. His love for being out on the water with a fishing rod, but most of all, his Love for his Family and Friends. Keith you will be Forever missed, but we will continue to keep the great stories and the laughter going for you always. We promise you, we will always be there for Rebecca and Jamie Lynn. We are Honoured to have had the Beautiful Presence of you in our Lives and for that we are eternally grateful. Spread your wings and fly Pops, keep on fishing. Those we Love don’t go away, They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still Loved, still missed and very dear. Love Michele, John & Family

I have fond memories of Keith from many years ago..Where does the time go? My condolences to Ferguson Family.
As newlyweds Keith and Doris lived directly across Harden street from us. We have many fond meteorites. Our oldest daughter’s first word was “ferg” and she used to yell it at the kitchen window when she saw him out and about. Jeannie and the rest of the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear the passing of Keith. He was a great man.

Grandpa... Thank you for all your years of love, your support, your fishing lessons, and your humour. It has been a privilege to know you and be a part of you, it has been a privilege to watch you love my children, and it will be a privilege to carry you with me, always. When you get to where you're going, tell Grandma I say hello. Love Goob ❤️ I'm not sure I could ever fully articulate the gratitude I have for the exceptional warmth and care provided to my Grandpa and to our family by Ed's House Northumberland Hospice. Endless thanks to the wonderful staff & volunteers. You took a heartbreaking goodbye and made it beautiful.
