Condolences to Keith's family.
Keith was one of a kind.
While working around Maribyrnong College Keith would stop by the office with one of his many stories of his life. There were so many of them and they were always so interesting and we enjoyed listening to him.
We will miss seeing his kind face around the school. There was nothing that Keith couldn't do. Cat wrangler, sign writer, furniture builder and that's just to name a few.
Thanks for always stopping by to just say.

Rest in Peace Keith

I can't believe this day has come, so sad when I heard the news of Keith's passing.
He was a fighter through and through, and fought his battle with such dignity with the love and support of Andrea and his family.
He was always there to help and give us guided tours when we came over to visit, there is nothing he wouldn't do for anyone..!! Always made us welcome, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
He even gave me some of his special juice concoctions to try LOL 😆
Down to earth, life and soul of the party, a big kid at heart.
Keith will be truly missed.. 😥
Just wish I could be there, and see you again - sending love and hugs to all the family

RIP Keith
Love from Joy & Chris and family xx 🤗😘

I had the pleasure of meeting Keith through his work at Maribyrnong College.

Keith was definitely a jack of all trades and a master of many of them. Keith was a delightful person who loved a chat (that’s an understatement!) and who became a bit of a problem solver for difficult projects at the school.

I'll think of Keith every time I drive into the car park and see the huge MSA signage on the stadium and I'll miss out chats.

RIP Keith.

Well Keith,
The first time we ever met you was down at Portarlington one New Year.
You had brought your bright yellow kayaks down and you were giving those of us willing to get in one, a sail in the beautiful warm, shallow sea. I was one of those and that is my first memory of you.
There have been many many meetings since then, even though Fred and I live in the UK.
We have had quite a few legs of lamb cooked in your Weber in your balcony. Lovely evenings and delicious food.
You never changed, you were always full of hopes and dreams, and we pray that you have taken some of those dreams with you Keith, and I hope that wherever you are, some of those dreams come true.
Fred and I will never forget you.
Rest in peace now.
From Cyn and Fred.

My condolences to Keith’s family. Keith was a lovely person, with a passion for everything! His creative work and attention to detail on all projects at Maribyrnong College will live on and on. Keith was always ready for a chat and he had a genuine interest in our staff and students.
We will miss you Keith – rest in peace.

We had many joyous occasions with Keith, who was often the life of the party and always good company.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Andrea and the whole Grieve family.
Unfortunately we can’t be there on Tuesday, but I am sure you will give him a much-deserved loving and joyous send-off.
Thinking of you all,
Neville and Christine Petrie

Keith has left his mark on several schools - and always in a positive way.

I first met Keith at Gladstone Park Secondary College where his signs still take pride of place today. Since 2009 Keith worked with me at Maribyrnong College on a large number of projects from signs, to construction, and even exam supervision! I will always think of him when I see that glorious Sports Academy sign on the stadium wall.

I enjoyed Keith’s friendship and am truly saddened by his death. Gone too soon, but never forgotten.

Rest in peace, dear Keith.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of Keith's passing.

We met through business a long time ago now and although unfortunately it's been quite some time since we last crossed paths. As a young couple starting out in printing, we respected and appreciated your friendship and support. While we drifted apart of the years as we both went in different directions in our businesses and lives, your kindness and the positive impact you had on my life are memories I'll always cherish.

No doubt, given the man you were you touched the lives of many with your warmth and generosity. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to know you.

My thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to Andrea and your loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Keith.

Warm regards,

Tom Dickson

Back in the early days of Ashleigh Signs in the UK, Keith was a big character at the start of the Company's journey.

He was a great guy to have around and we always kept in touch, even when Keith moved back to Australia. We would often meet up when he returned to the UK for visits.

Sending our thoughts and condolences to Andrea and all the family at this very sad time.

With love from Jill and all at Ashleigh.

It’s hard to fathom that this day has finally come. Despite everything, I thought you would be that person to defy all the odds. Your strength and determination over the last 5 years have been admirable. Thank you for your friendship, I will treasure it, and the memories I have of you for always. You have left a huge hole in our lives. Your name might be Keith, but you’ll always be Keef to me! With love always ❤️❤️

Lorraine Conn on 14 September, 2023 at 12:41pm

Keith,
My friend, it's so hard saying good bye to one of the most kindest, genuine humans.
You never gave up and you always had another plan.
I will always treasure your stories and your friendship.
Sign your name up there so we can see you in the stars 🌟
Sadly missed but you will be remembered always
Lorraine 🙏
