Max Keeping
Max Keeping has died in Ottawa at the age of 73. He succumbed to cancer after a long battle with the disease. Max Keeping was among the most successful of local television news anchors in becoming through his work an Ottawa broadcasting legend and community leader. CTV Ottawa Chief Anchor Graham Richardson replaced Max when he retired, “It wasn’t just about the news, charity work and public service. For him, it was the whole package and it was huge.” Long-time weather man J..J. Clarke spent 25 years with Max. ”Max was blessed with a rare gift. He was able to connect with people on-air and in person. I don’t think there was a hand he didn’t shake in our viewing region. Carol Anne Meehan was Max’s co-anchor for 22 years. “He was a selfless man who loved life – and lived it to the max. There will never be anyone like Max Keeping ever again.“
