DUFFUS, Keith Aston Duffus - 72, of Toronto, Ontario passed away peacefully on Saturday November 21, 2015 at 2:21pm at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Born in Lucky Hill, Jamaica to Lucien and Ponchetta, he lived most of his life in the Greater Toronto Area.
Keith is survived by his wife Bev of 22 years, brother Larry, Sisters Peggy and Del, sons Oliver and Roger (Aisha), and grandchildren Ethan (Oliver), Aria (Roger) and Quentin (Roger), and many nieces, nephews, cousins, adopted sons and daughters.
Keith was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend to all.
Keith worked for over 20 years with Bell Canada before retiring in 2006. Then he started his own small computer repair business. Wanting to give back to the communities that he loved, he also volunteered at the Salvation Army for many years. Keith was also an active member of St Dunstan of Canterbury Anglican Church once holding the position of Warden.
Keith was a loving and kind man to everyone he met. He was extremely well spoken with a soft British accent, that he kept from his time when he lived there as a young adult. Keith was very articulate and always had a formal yet polite and caring way of speaking to you.
He loved music. He could always be found with his palm pilot listening to Andrea Bocelli, Il divo or Celine Dion. Keith loved classical music and would sing it any chance he got. And there was not a dance floor he would not set a blaze. Known for his leg shaking Keith could cut a rug with the best of them.
Visitation will be from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Friday, December 11, 2015 at St Dunstan of Canterbury Anglican Church, 56 Lawson Road, Scarborough, ON M1C 2J2.
The Memorial service will be from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Saturday, December 12, 2015 also at St Dunstan of Canterbury Anglican Church.
If one so desires, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or to the Salvation Army.
Keith will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by his family and friends.
