Reginald Frederick Keene

‘Our uncle, Reginald Frederick Keene left a legacy to the Royal Surrey County Hospital in recognition of the wonderful care he received from the many members of staff who looked after him during his illness and post operative care. The family shared with him a better quality of life and many long lasting memories, and this gift was his way of showing gratitude to all concerned.'
