Dear brother of the late Lorna Noland and uncle of the late Allan Noland. Dad has left us with countless pleasant memories after a well-lived long life. Appreciated for his honesty and hard work, and well liked for his good nature and humour, Keith enjoyed many lasting friendships. His door was always open and his table always shared! No one left without a warm chat, a bit of news or advice, a weather forecast and an offering from his garden. He respected the land and nature and enjoyed his careers in farming and construction. At Keith's request, there will be no funeral at this time. All family and friends are invited to a memorial service to be held at Gordon Cemetery in the spring. Cremation has taken place. Memorial donations may be made to the Western Manitoulin Cancer Society as expressions of sympathy. Condolences may be shared through the SIMPSON FUNERAL HOME, Gore Bay. www.simpsonfuneralhome.ca
