Terry
Fred Keim passed away peacefully in the Pasqua Hospital, Regina,
SK on Thursday, February 8, 2018 at the age of 77 years.
Terry is survived by his wife Irene, their children Donna Grier
(Ron) of Edmonton, AB and their four children Ian, Mathew,
Cameron, Laura, and great-granddaughter Elizabeth; Andrew Keim (Elissa)
and their son Warren of Regina, SK; Brent Keim (Shelley) of
Manning, AB; and his brother Jim Keim (Gloria) of Lethbridge, AB

Terry was born July 5, 1940 on the family farm near Acme, AB.
He graduated from SAIT in 1959 with a diploma in Electronics
Technology. After graduation Terry went to Ottawa for intensive
training with the Federal Government’s Department of
Communications in Radio Operations. Terry traveled extensively
in the Northwest Territories and was posted to Inuvik, NWT where
he met and married Irene Sturgess in 1964.
Terry was a lifelong avid Ham Radio Operator (VE5TK) who spent
countless hours calling CQ and collecting cards from all over
the world. While living in Winnipeg in the early 1970’s, Terry
used his skill and equipment to alert the Canadian Coast Guard
and assist in the rescue of a stranded sail boat operator
trapped in the sea ice outside of Gjoa Haven, NWT.
Terry served 36 years in the Federal Public Service, most of
which was in the NWT. He championed many policy changes that
continue to positively impact the lives of people of across the
North.
Terry had many interests including his family Genealogy and the
German’s from Russia Organization. Through tireless research,
Terry traced his family heritage in Germany as far back as 1705.
Terry was also a dedicated member of the German Wine Society
where he fulfilled the duties of treasurer for over 13 years.
A Celebration of Terry’s Life will be held on Friday, February
16, 2018, doors open at 6:00 pm, in the Crave Kitchen and Wine

I still have a baseball cap Terry gave me,
now some 20 years ago. I was suppose to go
to Yellowknife for a meeting with him and
planned a few days off to go fishing for
artic char, sadly the meeting got cancelled
and the next meeting had me somewhere else
in the country. When he came to Ottawa we
spent many an hour chatting. He was a
wonderfully kind sole. Many conversations on
the phone. His cowboy boots were his
signature footwear. Rest in peace Terry!
Another gone too soon!....
