Garland Robert Carl Keefe

Passed on: October 21st, 2016

Born on Fogo Island, September 8, 1932. On Thursday, October 21, 2016 our hearts filled with deep sadness with the loss of a husband, father, and grandfather - Garland Keefe, at the age of 84 years. Predeceased by his grandmother: Eva Green; his parents: Stewart and Cora Keefe, and his brother: Bruce. Leaving to mourn is his loving wife of 56 years, Beryl (Head); his daughters: Angela (Gerald Dalton), Isobel (Kenneth Fitzpatrick), and Doreen (Bruce Regular); as well as his beloved grandchildren: Amanda, Megan, and Steven. He will be sadly missed by his sisters: Shirley, Geraldine and Gloria and his brother Tom as well as their families. He will be fondly remembered by a large circle of friends. The Keefe family would like to extend their appreciation and thanks to the clinical teams of St. Clare's Emergency Room, 4 West Medicine, and the Intensive Care Unit for their excellent care and compassion. At Garland's request cremation has taken place. Visitation with the family will take place at Barrett's Funeral Home, 73 Commonwealth Ave. on Monday, October 24, 2016 from 2 - 9 pm. A memorial service and celebration of his life will take place on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. from Barrett's Chapel. We will always remember Garland as a spirited, strong willed, and hard working man who was very family oriented and always gave of himself to ensure they were loved and cared for. As expressions of sympathy flowers gratefully accepted or donations may be in Garland's memory to a charity of choice. Please visit www.barretts.ca to sign the on line memorial guest book

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than anything I have ever done; it is a far, far, better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
