    Default Vale Keith Gates.

    It is with sadness that I report the passing of Keith Gates in Wagga at 2.00AM this morning.

    To those of us that knew Keith he was always part of the "3 Stooges" or the "3 Amigos"

    With Larry and Big Z, Keith started the Wagga Wagga Turnabout. It is in its 12th year so they must have done something right.

    Keith also attended most of the other turnarounds as well and was a regular at nearly all Woodworking shows on the east coast.

    His presence will be sadly missed.

    I extend the condolences of the board to those that survive him.

    Pauline and I will definitely miss him as will all who attend the turnaround weekends.

    A sad day indeed.

    Rest in peace Gatesey and may the Pearly Gates fly open to welcome our own Pearly Gates.

    Keith was a member of Woodwork Forums, usename - Pearly Gates.

    So long old friend.

    I didn't know him, but reading of anyone's passing is very sad indeed.

    I make things, I just take a long time.
