Ted & Rachelle Keyserlingk - 24 days ago

Our sincere condolences to Arlene and family members. Here at Place Kensington, Bram will be remembered for his spontaneous friendship, tardiness to help and organizing skills. I shall miss him for many reasons, not least his intense and encyclopedic sports knowledge, past and present. But as typical for Bram, he did not only know scores and statistics. He knew and liked the players personally and was welcome in their clubhouses. sadly, his passing was not the cross-country trip he was planning. May his memory be a blessing, as it surely will.
