Keith Crafter 1938 - 2021

12 April 1938 - 6 July 2021

Keith lived all of his life in Ewell and later Epsom. He enjoyed his time at Glyn School where he started in 1950 and was a keen member of the Boy Scouts. On leaving school Keith joined Surrey County Council studying at night school to become a Chartered Surveyor, specialising in rating and valuation. He remained doing SCC work until he retired, although this was contracted out later to W.S. Atkins and Bruton Knowles; both local firms. Keith’s passions in life were jazz, collecting comic annuals and photography, from the early days of silent cine to camcorders. He also won a couple of amateur photographic competitions. On retirement, Keith, together with his wife Linda, became a volunteer at the National Trust property Polesden Lacey, working as a Room Guide.  Keith was an enthusiastic and regular attender of The Old Glynians’ reunion dinner. Keith leaves behind a wife, two daughters and two granddaughters. He was suffering from Lewy Body, a form of dementia.
