Dearest Keith and all your family. My deepest condolences to you all during this very sad time. I have many memories of you both when I was a youngster. My mum Margaret née Ford worked with you at Rassys cake shop. But I am no longer a youngster and we’ll know the loving support of children and grandchildren: love and hugs Debbie xoxo
Dear Keith and all your beautiful family. On behalf of the Castlemaine and District Agricultural Society we express our sadness and send condolences to you all. I have been Secretary for the Castlemaine Show now 33 years. A few years ago I was invited to give a talk on the Show at the Historical Society. Keith attended that meeting and to my surprise he told us all he proposed to Virginia on the farres wheel at the show in 1957. Several times when we managed to get the wheel back I invited you both to come along and have your very own private Show and enjoy the Wheel. You made it on the front page of the Bendigo Advertiser. We think of you both fondly and be assured forever remembering your special engagement at the Show. Always remember you both walking the Show holding hands. Much love. Xoxo Debbie Hamilton Secretary,Chris Dowler President. 🎡🎡
Thinking of Paul and all Virginia’s family at this time.
A long life lived well.
Frank,Honey,Rick,Dion Vosper and families.
