It is with sincere sadness that we advise of the untimely passing of our Brother Keith Shaw Bussey at the LaSalle General Hospital this morning. A short and unexpected heart problem developed last week causing his admittance to the hospital’s intensive care facility. Regretfully his condition deteriorated over the short period.
Our sincere sympathies are extended to his only brother David Bussey and his wife Catherine of Edmonton Alberta. It is our understanding that arrangements are being made for his cremation, whereby his ashes will be returned with the family to Alberta. There will be no visitation or formal funeral services at this time.
St. Andrews Lodge No.53 will be holding a Memorial Service in his honour. Details to follow. May he rest in peace.
Fraternally yours,
Bro. Keith H. LeBrun
Secretary, St. Andrews Lodge No. 53 A.F.& A. M. GRQ.

Please pass along my sincere condolences to his family and friends.
I grew up with Keith in Verdun, starting in kindergarten and we lost track of each other in the late 70′s, when I moved into the arctic. We spent a lot of time together at the Dawson’s Boys Club, EXPO 67 and in the High School Band. I am the guy that put the dish soap solution into Keith’s tuba, the night of one of our High School concerts. (He was madder than a wet hen LOL). He was a pretty decent stand up comic, even when he wasn’t trying to be. We had a lot of fun together and he will be missed.
Bro. Lebrun,
It is with sadness that I have just learned the death of our friend and brother Keith Bussey.
Please transmit to his brother and Brethren of St. Andrew’s Lodge No 53, my most sincere condolences.

I had not heard from Keith in some time, and was missing his blogspots and humour. Life just got busy, and although I tried to contact him a couple of times, I did not follow through. Ergo, I only just today learned that what I was suspected was so – thet Keith had passed to the G.L.A. I first met Keith some 15 years ago. We became immediate and fast friends. I valued his counsel, and was glad to offer a listening ear when he needed one. Keith was a stand up guy. A true gentleman. And a real brother. I may have missed the memorial service, but the memory of Keith will stay with me always – R.I.P., my friend. Bro. Robert Head / Laurentian 81
