Charlie Key
Submitted by Richard Key (not verified) on Fri, 10/12/2018 - 09:54
Charlie was my grandfather and the hurt of his loss was something that my father Wilfred Richard Key carried all his life. To Ada Key, my grandmother who lived to to 1o2 yrs, he was the love of her life and she coped by being a demon worker and the sharpest little lady you'd ever meet. She lived in our home in Camden SA for many years & we played euchre in the evenings when she wasn't watching the World Wide Wrestling on tv. Charlie's death affected all of us in many different ways and this being 100 years since I would like to acknowledge his sacrifice with thanks.
