For years, Keith Wadham served the public as a councillor and on community committees. His sudden death in June 2019 was a blow to the community. The RM of Wallace – Woodworth council chose to honour Keith’s memory at their Christmas Banquet, held in Kenton on Dec.6.
In a presentation to Keith’s widow Lilian, Reeve Clayton Canart paid tribute to Wadham’s dedicated service to the municipality, as well as his tireless devotion to the Virden & Area Handi-Van and Virden Medical Retention Committee.
That he was a deeply appreciated man is born out by the emotion in the room during that presentation.
“Keith was always only a phone call away for the Handi-Van and its needs, whether he was needed as a driver to get someone where they needed to go, being a board member, or making a trip to Winnipeg to have the van fixed, Keith was always there,” noted the reeve.
Canart said later, “The presentation to Lil was an honour for us and a small token to show our appreciation and thanks for the time and commitment Keith volunteered for Wallace-Woodworth and area.”
