Keith passed away on Monday August 20, 2018. He was a fixture of the electrical industry in British Columbia since 1969 when he began working for General Electric. He later went on to spend many years with Gescan, before founding Adanac Sales in 1991. Most recently, Keith founded and acted as President of Surrey-based Cascadia Sales alongside his sons Ryan and Chris.

Keith was active within the electrical industry, volunteering his time with the British Columbia Electrical Association, Electro-Federation Canada (EFC), as well as CEMRA and NEMRA in many different roles.

His volunteer efforts extended well beyond the electrical industry, giving his time to many causes, his most memorable being his time volunteering for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

His family will host a celebration of his life on Thursday, September 13th at 1PM, at Swan-E-Set resort in Pitt Meadows, BC.
