Keith, beloved son, brother, and friend passed away at Dulcina Hospice Manor in Calgary at the age of 84 years. He was born in Ottawa, ON to parents, Frances (Frappier) and Arthur Babcock. Keith spent 45 years in the public sector, which includes 33 years with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Keith was passionate about golf, curling and the Royal Canadian Legion, where he donated his time, especially going to schools each year talking about the importance of Remembrance Day. After retiring, he moved to Barrhead and for the last four years he lived in Airdrie, AB.

Keith was passionate about life and gave freely of his time and energy to those needing help. He will be greatly missed by family; friends, Darlene, Clarence and Gail; and companion, Florence; and so many other friends whose hearts he touched.
