Dear Mel, Kate, Julie, Helen and families, Keith was like a second dad while growing up in Healseville and Toolangi. I can’t imagine my childhood without him and the times we spent together as families. He really made us laugh, always made time for us and he was a great inspiration and mentor. Mel thanks for those beautiful words from the heart. Mel, Kate, I can’t imagine what you are going through but I am sure you know he only ever wanted the best for you and loved you dearly. He will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with you all. Love Michael

Thanks for sharing Keith’s service with us.
The stories brought back many memories of times shared with Keith and Roger over a cuppa in our home or spud talk in the shed. Keith certainly made a great contribution to the seed potato industry.
Condolences to Julie and the family.
From Jan and Laurie Shaw
Dearest Julie,
the last time I saw Keith I sat with him in the waiting room at the clinic and discussed all things caravanning, a topic that made us both smile. A lot.
He told me that if his health had allowed it he would have hooked up the van and headed to Gippsland to spend some money in the areas that needed help after the fires.
As the two of you left the clinic that day I told you both, through tears I might add, that we would do exactly that, for him, as soon as we could. We will, I promise.
To the Blackmore Family,
We were very sad to hear of Keith’s passing and are grateful that this service was available for us to be part of. Keith was a wonderful mentor for Joe, during the early years of our transition from commercial potatoes to seed. He will be remembered for his passion for the spuds and common sense approach to any challenges that came along. I was so happy to learn that he had a fruitful family life with many travel adventures and lots of photos to share.
Our thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with all the family.
Tony, Veronika and Joe Rosato (Gippsland).
Keith, what a wonderful life you have lived. You made a great contribution in your working life to the potato industry and the people working in it. It has been a privilege to know you and to have worked with you. Farewell.
Our deepest condolences to you Julie with the passing of your loving husband Keith.
You have many memories of all the family occasions with all those beautiful photos that Keith took, take care. Our thoughts are with you and the extended family.
Love from Alison & Trevor xx
Julie and family, my deep condolences to you all. How wonderful that you were there for Keith all this time to bring much joy into his life, important for you all to also have that experience and memory of him. Melanie and Kate, we are thinking of you with fond memories of the days we all spent together when you, Alison and Michael were children. Keith was always there for all of us, warm-hearted, funny and fully engaged. Also, not a day goes by where I don’t appreciate how his friendship made my family’s adaptation to Australia so much easier. We’ll all miss him so much.
With love, Elena Gartner
A wonderful gentleman, loads of fun and full of life, you will be missed Uncle Keith. Thanks for checking that Tom was a suitable candidate!

As my sister said, Keith has been a member of our ‘family’ for my entire life. I have so many memories of birthdays, holidays, day trips and sleepovers with the Blackmores and I couldn’t imagine growing up without them in my life. It is incredibly sad to have to say goodbye and I’m so grateful for the many happy memories I have. Love to Mel, Kate, Julie and families.
Keith has been a member of our extended family for 45 years. My childhood would not have been the same without him and the Blackmore family.
As families we have holidayed together, grown together, had many Christmases together and my father Peter and keith have also worked together.
Some of my fondest memories are climbing Keiths long legs in the anticipation of being flipped over like an Olympic gymnast (always a favourite), doing wheelies on country dirt roads in his Datsun, being thrown in the swimming pool or put on his shoulders where you felt like you would hit the sky and spending Christmas day in our caravans together.
Keith has been a terrific close friend to my parents Peter and Pam over the years and an uncle to my sister Gillian and I in every way but name.
We will miss you Keith and I will hold all of my childhood memories of you very close to my heart.
Lots of love to Julie, Melanie, Kate, Jason, Clint, Janelle and all of the Balckmore clan.
Love Melanie Ward xxxxx
I would have liked to celebrate Keith’s life in person along with my cousins and his family. Alas, we live in interesting times and it isn’t possible.

A good hearted kind man. I will miss him
Love to all

Rest In Peace Lefty.
