Keith Alan Pead (Passed away 29 Apr 2021)

A lovely man. Thank you for for all the fun and laughter Keith

Whenever I saw Keith, he was always fun to be with. His 60th birthday party was an example of his keenness to ensure everyone had a good time with skittles, a quiz and good food, followed by Pippa's 60th with barn dancing! I shall always remember his smile and zest for life.
With love
Katie

You will be greatly missed but will always remain in our hearts as happy, kind a very generous person with great big heart. Love from Kat, Martin Sophie and Thomas

I am deeply sorry to hear of Keith's death. Sending you much love in this time of great grief.

Keith - What great memories you have left us with, board games you never lost, party tricks we couldnt understand, fireworks parties that defied Health & Safety and of course The Big O Experience in Alicante.
Wherever you went you lit up a room and enriched lives, thank you.

Keith joined our family when he married Philippa on 4th Sept 1982. We met a tall young man, with no airs or graces, very friendly and not easily ignored. Who can forget the skittles birthday party and more than one Barn Dance between us. 2021 found Keith completely unchanged. Still married to Philippa, who he described as a ‘very smart lady’, and enjoying retirement. Covid stopped the golf so Keith decided to learn to play the piano. As always, determined to enjoy life. We are all so shocked Keith has been taken so fast and so young. Life is not fair. Rest well Keith. With deepest sympathy, Aunty Ann, Neil, Paul and Michelle

Keith, you were the cleverest bloke I ever knew! You opened our eyes to all kinds of new ideas and you and your wit will be sorely missed old friend.

Keith, it was a privilege and pleasure having you as a friend for so many years. You were always positive, upbeat and saw a different often funny side to things even when they were serious. Rest in peace my friend.

Keith, you always had a smile on your face and a story to tell, magic tricks at the Christmas parties, so many fond memories of working with you, rest in peace

Keith, so young at heart, a natural born optimist and always guaranteed to make me laugh. I will always look back at our fishing and golfing trips away as precious times together and am grateful to have shared such a long and enduring friendship with you for almost 40 years. Wherever you are now Keith, hopefully sitting beside a river bank, sit tight and I'll come and find you some day so we can share good times again and have a laugh. Martin

Keith, you were a legend, thank you for taking the time to help me understand all elements of the industry when starting out in my career. You will be missed.
