On July 28, 2012, our father, Ralph Gardner Keefer, 
passed away two months shy of 95 from pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease in the Ottawa nursing home. We held a beautiful, heartbreaking memorial for him in the Beechwood Cemetery and the St. Batholomew's Church which he attended every week until he went into the nursing home. We sang Five Hundred Miles and Edelweiss as he requested and said prayers of thanksgiving for all that he gave us. 
In his memory, may we all cherish the beauty of nature, love of sports and exercise, writing and publishing books, global culture, and family traditions.
Merry Christmas 2012!
