Obituary of Keith Bentley Oldham
“May your journey through life be as happy as Charlotte’s and mine has been.
Or happier, though that’s unlikely.”
In his own words Keith Bentley Oldham always recognized when it was “time to move on”, and so, in his 96th year, after the arrival of a bevy of great-grandchildren, he passed peacefully into rest, with his wife Charlotte at his side, on Friday December 13th, 2024.
Bumpa’s full life was enriched by his love of chemistry, travel, the outdoors, conversation, cards, music and countless family gatherings.
He is survived by his wife, Charlotte (nee Hocknell), and his younger brother Rob (Elaine), predeceased by his parents Harry & Phyllis Oldham, and older brother Eric (Joyce), of Ashton-under-Lyne, England.
He will be remembered lovingly by his children: Michael (Mireille); Paul (Liz); Eric (Rani); Helen (Michael); and Louise (Dan), and grandchildren: Michelle (Kai); Liana (Trevor); Véronique (Geoff); Robi; Josh (Lindsay); and Amelia (Keegan); as well as the great-grandchildren: Mateo, Mace, Raphaël, Pascal, and Charlotte. Extended family in England, Australia, and New Zealand; his Trent University colleagues and students; and friends from PROBUS Lakefield, will also miss him deeply.
The family would like to thank the staff of Royal Gardens and the Peterborough Regional Health Center, for the care and attention provided to Keith in his difficult final year.
A service to celebrate Keith’s Life will be held on January 2nd, 2025 at 11:30 am at THE HENDREN FUNERAL HOMES, LAKEFIELD CHAPEL, 66 Queen Street, Lakefield, Ontario. A reception will follow.
In lieu of flowers, Keith asked that donations be made to a charity of your choice. Donations may be made by contacting the funeral home at www.hendrenfuneralhome.com or by calling 705-652-3355.
