In Memory

of

Keith Withers

Keith Withers

Oct 1948 to Jan 2021

with RPD Frankie

 
From Liz and Clare...
Thank you all for you kind and generous donations in memory of Keith Withers. 
Keith was passionate about the police dogs, from puppy walking, following them as they went to meet their handlers and through training, following their careers and career highlights and into retirement. 
He would have been over the moon at the amount raised in his memory.
It has bought comfort to us as his family and close friends that people have supported the Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund with such generosity.  Liz and Clare "
 
Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund are honoured to have been nominated to receive donations in memory of Keith - he was a friend and great supporter of our work and we will never forget his love for police dogs; whether puppies, serving or retired and especially his affection for Retired Police Dog Frankie.
