My condolences to the Dryburgh family. I played hockey as a boy with Scott, and his father coached our team. Having coached my own sons' sports in past years, I remember and appreciate him as an intense, quiet spoken coach, and for some reason I still vividly remember, one cold winter's eve, practice at the outdoor rink at Elwick community centre, him explaining, simply and clearly, how to shoot with accuracy (the follow thru is the key!). Simple though it was, it came as a logical revelation to my young mind, and it was an example of the sort of effort that earned our respect for his commitment and ability in helping us improve as young players. I have sometimes "gone top shelf" in days past and thought of his long ago lesson.

So sorry to read of Keith's passing. I was his student back in 1974 at Red River. He was may favorite instructor. I remember his dry sense of humor and patience, while effectively communicating his course material. My condolences to his family.

One of the best teachers/instructors I ever had. Keith was my computer science instructor at RRCC back in 1971. I ran across Keith later in-life at a golf course and he still remembered me as a student. Always made you feel important. Condolences to Mr. Dryburgh’s family.

To Jeanette and family my deepest condolences on hearing of Keith’s passing. I golfed with Keith for many years in the Six thirty golf club and at the South Interlake Golf course. It was always a pleasure to golf with Keith. He was an excellent golfer and a true sportsman and gentleman on the course. He leaves behind many fond memories and will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure to golf with him and know him.
