I remember Keith Roach teaching me and Daniel Taylor at Saint Anthony's Elementary. One time I was acting up and Keith lifted the chair with me in it and sat me down by the big piano that was in the back of a piano that he had in the back of hi class. I was around 9 years old at that time. Good old Saint Anthony's. Daniel was also a class clown. Rip to both of them.

So very sorry to hear of Keith's passing. Our son Liam enjoyed having music class wit Keith. He was extremely helpful in assisting him to achieve his first musical goal which was to play Last Post for Remembrance Day. He played it in front of his grandfather who passed not long after that. This remains a poignant memory for our family and Keith will always be a part of it. HE was truly a talent and will be missed by many. Our deepest condolences to Keith's family.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news of Keith’s unexpected passing. I remember him letting me drive one of his coveted cars that he restored himself when my brother Jack and I spent a few days in Glacé Bay building his mother’s deck. We couldn’t make it to the funeral but wish we could have. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

Dear Cass, Jackie and family - I am so very sorry to hear of Keith's untimely passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. I was so moved that you mentioned my mother, Florence Adams, in his obituary, and I remember well those late-night Music Theory sessions around the table as Keith and Jackie studied for University. She loved those sessions, and I think Jackie and Keith did as well. What a tremendous legacy Keith has left! He was really a Prince of Kindness and Joy among humanity. You will miss him so much, but he will always be in your hearts. I am so deeply sorry for your most profound loss.
