age 71 of Bedford, passed away at home on August 16, 2018. He was born in St. John’s, N.L. on August 27, 1946. He was a son of the late Jack and Bertha (Humber) Hunter. He is survived by son, Stephen and grandson Dawson, Cole Harbour; son, Gregory, Ottawa; brother, Ian (Patsy), Portugal Cove, St. Phillips, N.L.; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 40 years, Shirley Marie (Rhind); brother, John and sister, Carol. Keith spent 25 years in the Royal Canadian Navy as a cook serving on several ships, including two tours of duty on HMCS Bonaventure, twice with a United Nations Disengagement Force in Damascus, Syria, and Golan Heights, Israel. He also did a six-month stint in CFS Alert, an isolated posting in NWT. He served with the Commissionaires for 22 years at the Canadian Armed Forces Ammunition Depot in Bedford. Keith enjoyed gardening, cooking, reading and playing cribbage (managed to get 29 twice) with Steve and Lynn and countless hours with good friend Ken Tanner (hope you get the elusive one Ken). In August of 2016 Keith was hospitalized, having a large portion of his bowel removed. Greg and Krista kept house and harvested hundreds of tomatoes that grew every day, thanks so much. Keith was an avid Chicago Blackhawks fan and starting in 1961 saw them win the Cup four times, and got to see them play five times when they were in Ottawa. Service/reception will be held 2:00 pm. Tuesday, August 21st in Sackville Lions Club, 101 Old Beaverbank Rd., Lower Sackville. Donations can be made to Canadian Cancer Society.
