Maureen and Cyril Prisman

Dear Ruth and family

Please accept our sincerest condolences in your great personal loss

It is so difficult for us to accept that Keith's voice and knowledge are now finally stilled.

What a man.  Look for  a moment at his attributes...and you will agree that "a cedar has fallen"

A sailor.
the consummate musician.
Someone who could elucidate any problem involving computers.
The good  friend.

The proud father and grandfather.
Oh, it is difficult to visualise a suitable successor!!Someone who will be as good a Renaissance man as he was!!!

We can understand your  and your family's sense of loss and loneliness..but how proud you must be of his achievements!!
We will never forget not only his personal kindness towards us at the time of celebrations of various milestones in our lives but also the incredible mind of a musician  who could conduct a performance of the  Hebrew Sabbath SERVICE  without a formal knowledge of Hebrew and leave our[Jewish] clergy stunned by his ability and  depth of knowledge and feeling with which he could mount such a performance.

We truly can say that "this is a man, and we shall not lightly see his equal again"

Your family has lost its head.and we as friends and  members of the broader community join in your mourning  for all that is no longer there

Please accept our sincerest condolences and our tribute to an incredible man.


yours very sincerely,

Maureen and Cyril {Prisman]
