Mr. Van Der Linden worked as a salesman for Bowman Sales for many years prior to retiring. In his retirement, Keith, was instrumental in establishing a Source of Light Ministries Work in Romania and made several return trips to ensure that the work he help to start never stopped. He especially enjoyed these trips when his wife accompanied him.
Keith always had a great sense of humor and ability to tell numerous jokes. But most of all he will be remembered for the extreme amount of love he showed towards and gave his family.
He enjoyed woodworking, which enabled him to make wonderful gifts for family and friends, singing in Kingsmens quartet, as well as several others. He was also accomplished in playing the piano and organ.
Surviving in addition to his wife of 65 years are a son, Russell (Carol) Van Der Linden of Rochester;
a daughter, Aprille (Ronald) Truax of Cuba; 7 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents he was predeceased by a son Frederick R. Van Der Linden on August 1, 2010; a grandson Stephen Van Der Linden; a granddaughter Katie M. Van Der Linden; and two brothers Vern V. Van Der Linden and Guy L. Van Der Linden.
