ANDERSON, James Keith In Hospital with his family by his side, Friday July 6, 2007, age 82. Beloved husband of the late Margaret.

Keith was extremely proud of his 35 years of distinguished service with the Ottawa Police Service, retiring as a Staff Sergeant in 1986.

The second moment was in 2006 when Keith presented to his granddaughter Tara Anderson her badge as she followed proudly in her grandfather's footsteps as an officer in the Ottawa Police Service.
