VALE Keith Mill

09 October 1927 – 14 August 2021

Keith has been a member of WRAG for 33 years and was Convenor of the 500 Club for most of that time.

Very sad news this morning –

Keith Mill passed away today, 14 August, 2021 at Scotchmans Creek Aged Care facility to where he moved only a few months ago. He was a valued, clever and compassionate man who convened the WRAG 500 card group for many of those 33 years, never missing an opportunity to join in on lunches, trips and his Crazy Whist games which gave us so much to enjoy.

No one would be surprised how much he loved his Chinese dinner – garlic scallops, or cheesy scones, or silverside and mustard sandwiches, or white wine, or anything really, now that we think about it.

He will be sadly missed by many.

His career as a teacher, then Headmaster drew us all into his charm offensive with wit and joy.

His tales of adventures with wife, Fran and the kids , Janine, Lynette, and Brian…. the family he was so proud of; and his times running Footy Tipping at the Scotchsmans Creek Aged Care facility whilst caring for Fran; and his games of 500 at that facility, and with Probus. Some of the reasons he was so we’ll liked.

A Life Well Lived.

A Great WRAG Patriot and True Friend, Sadly Missed.
