WILLIAMS, KEITH LEONARD December 22, 1945 – May 7, 2020 Celebration of Life and Interment It is hard to believe that it has been over a year since we said goodbye to Keith Williams. Keith passed away on May 7, 2020 at the age of 74 years. The family wishes to announce that a celebration of Keith’s life will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, we invite you to join us virtually on June 19th; the link for the service can be found at https://www.arbormemorial.ca/mceachnie/obituaries/keith-leonard-williams/49348/. Interment will be at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens in Ajax, ON immediately following the service for family and invited family and friends following public health directives. Keith was born to Ralph and Edith (nee Ball) Williams on December 22, 1945. The youngest of three boys, he had dreams of going into dentistry. Instead, he worked for Consumers Gas/Enbridge for over 40 years, starting off in the mailroom and retiring as IT Architect.
It was at Consumers Gas that he met and married Doreen Scutchings and together they raised two children, Heather and Bryan. Keith is survived by his wife, Doreen, and their children Heather (Kerry) and Bryan (Jennifer) along with grandchildren Breanna and Joshua; also his sisters-in-law Kathe (Larry) and Lynn, nieces Sandra, Jill, and Lesley-Ann, and nephews Raymond and Robert. He was predeceased by his parents and his brothers Earl (2013) and Roy (2020) and sister-in-law Peggy (2002). Keith loved to sing, enjoyed a good laugh, was dedicated to serving others, and kept on waiting for his beloved Maple Leafs to reclaim the Stanley Cup.
The family wishes to express our thanks to the staff at Ballycliffe Long Term Care Home for their excellent care of Keith when he lived at the Home. The family also wishes to extend their gratitude to the staff of McEachnie Funeral Home for their professionalism and support.
