Keith TributeOn October 13th, a large crowd of friends, relatives and supporters of the Ontario Steelheaders gathered at the look-out in Denny’s park to honour long-time member Keith Berkeley. Karl Redin spoke of Keith as a dedicated member who was part of the “old Guard” in the Steelheaders. He spent time as a director back in the early days, and gave countless hours of his time to fisheries enhancement. A stone memorial is placed near the lookout point where Keith and his wife Penny spent many days watching over the river where Keith loved to fish. To some, he was a friend, a comrade, a lifelong partner. To all of us, he is an inspiration. Keith was kind, patient and the most giving person we knew.

Keith Memorial“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who donated to the very moving tribute to Keith at the park. Keith would have been honoured to know that you cared so much for him. He had tears in his eyes when he read his last Steelheader Newsletter. He loved the park, the people, and the work on the fishery. He was proud to be a part of it all. I was moved.- Penny”
