Dear Janet & Family So sorry to hear that you have lost your lovely husband Keith. It was so nice to meet you both when you were in the UK three years ago. Do you remember our trip out together calling in at Windermere Golf Club? It was a beautiful day so you saw the Lake District at its best.My only regret is that I never got over to New Zealand . When I spoke to Keith on the phone he always asked the same question. When are you coming over? I am sure you will have a lot of love and support from your family. Take care , stay safe Love Pauline ( nee Crowe)

Dear Janet, Elgene, Rodney and families. A lovely tribute to Keith and good to see the photo's with all that 70's/80's facial hair! Elgene, you captured everything I remembered from the primary school days at Cheal Road, i.e. the guy fawkes bonfires, the animals (no one else we knew had a pet possum in the garage!) and the hockey (I had conveniently forgotten about the orange turtle necks!) One extra thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Keith Crowe and that would be the Citroen cars! When Keith talked to us he was always⁣ genuinely ⁣interested in not only what we were doing but also why we were doing it and how we were doing it. He will be missed, our thoughts are with you.

Janet and Karl Taylor

A wonderful tribute to Keith. Elg and Richard I am sure Janet is very proud of you as Keith would be. To all the family, so many good memories and kindnesses were shown to us by Janet and Keith in years gone by. The memories will always be cherised. Dianne Eales

Dear Janet & family. A lovely service for a lovely man. Keith was so kind to mum (Marie Kowalewski) when he regularly popped in to see her while visiting his dear friend Graeme Berg at Jean Sandel Retirement Village. He always made light of it but we, her family, so appreciated his thoughtfulness and his caring nature.At the service it was mentioned that he was a friend for life and that is so true.

Dear Janet, Elg and Family, What a beautiful service for a very special father, grandfather and friend. I have so many special memories staying at the Crowe farm on Cheal Road. Getting up at 5am to bring the cows in on the horses, helping in the milking shed, riding on the back of the motorbike or tractor with him, eeling, collecting pinecones, making tunnels in the haybarn, just to name but a few. He was the loveliest, kindest person. Thinking of you all at this very sad time and I just wish I could be there with you today. Lots of love to you all, Clare, Johnny, Francesca and Gabrielle

It is with shock and sadness we read of Keith's sudden passing, sending deepest sympathy to you Janet and all your family. A real gentleman, he would always go out of his way to speak to you when he saw you and always ask how you were. Thinking of you all at this sad time Keith and Joy Hosking.
