KEITH BEAVER OBITUARY

August 24, 1952 - January 2, 2023

Keith died peacefully in the arms of his best friend and loving wife of 30 years, Christine Nesbitt. He was survived by sisters Karen and Glynis (Tim), sister-in-law Susan (Ian Nesbitt, 2016), many nieces, nephews and close friends. Predeceased by his parents Joyce Mould and Clayton Beaver.

Keith's life-long passion for music was expressed through his immense talent for singing and playing his guitar. He was also a gifted artist and poet. During a courageous battle with Alzheimer's Disease, Keith took comfort in the companionship of his wife and his puppy, Suzy. His intelligent conversations, witty sense of humour, and kindness will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

A special thank you to PSW Lu who made it possible for Keith to remain in his home.

Cremation has taken place. The family will receive friends at DODSWORTH & BROWN FUNERAL HOME - ANCASTER CHAPEL, 378 Wilson Street East, Ancaster on Monday, January 9, 2023 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. A Funeral Service for Keith will be held in the Chapel on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 11 a.m. followed by Interment at White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Hamilton.

  It is with much sadness that I have to post that long time player and Pirates manager, John Ribbecon has passed away on Friday June 17, 2022.  

   John joined the league in 2000.   He had been one of the league’s premier players until an unfortunate accident a few years ago resulted in the loss of one of his legs.  However, not one for quitting, John’s exceptional enthusiasm for life, the game and our league, kept him playing.  Then, in 2012 John stepped up and became the Pirates’ manager.

   I have had the pleasure of playing with and against John over the last 20 years. Always positive and gracious as a winner or when coming in second, it was a pleasure to be associated with him.  He will be missed.  

 

 

 

Sadly, as our 2022 season opened May 23, long time player Carl Fiamelli passed away that same morning.  After a fairly lengthy battle with cancer, Carl finally succumbed.

Carl was the epitome of what our league is all about - competitive yet still friendly to all, caring, a great sense of humour.  You could not ask for a better teammate.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace

 

It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the news of the passing of Ray Angeline on September 26, 2019.

He suffered a heart attack and died yesterday at age 70. His girlfriend says that funeral details will be available shortly.

Ray played in the league only 2 years (Tigers this season, A's last season) and will always be remembered for his quick wit and enthusiasm for the game.

I'll share further details as they become available.
