Premier Laments Passing of Charles Keating

Premier John Hamm today, Nov. 22, expressed his sorrow at news of the death of Charles Keating of Dartmouth.

"Nova Scotia has lost one of its greatest champions and ambassadors," said Premier Hamm. "As a businessman, entrepreneur, community leader, mentor and parent, Charlie Keating cut a wide swath. His generosity can be measured so many ways, from his time to his enthusiasm, from his financial support to his indomitable spirit -- he shared them all so willingly and so graciously.

"On behalf of the government of Nova Scotia, I offer our sincere sympathies to his family, who meant so much to him," said the premier. "Charlie wore his love for his family, his community, his province and his country on his sleeve. Nova Scotia will always carry him in a special place in its heart."
