I understand there was a nurse and ex-paramedic who tried to help my dad and we are very very grateful for their help.

James (my son) tells me that dad was having the best day ever at the car meet and he'd not seen his grandad so happy as he was today. For that I'm thankful that he was so happy.

Mom said Dad got to meet his friends from here, I know of Dave and Lee as he often used to sit here laughing at some of your posts. And I think there is someone called Raggerty too. Sorry I don't know all of your names.

I'd also like to thank someone called Rob who called and spoke to mom, it was much appreciated. We can't wait to see the photos you took today.

I am very very sorry to be passing on such sadness but I know dad would want me to let you all know. He loved using this website and you people made the last few months of his life extremely happy and it was lovely to see him sat here laughing at some of the things. And I'm sure you all groaned at some of his jokes!

I don't know if I'm allowed by the moderators to put my e-mail address on here so for the time being I will log onto this if anyone wishes to contact me or my family regarding dad, aka Brum29.

Thank you for the kind thoughts and messages that you have all written.

Much love and appreciation,
Debbie.

I was at the meet saturday Your dad was a special person.There is a new star in the sky

Absolutely stunned. Not been on for a few days and read about the joke book tribute and wondered what was going on. The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long. Brum29 certainly brightened things up on here and will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to you and all your family, I never met Keff but I was always amused by his banter on here and especially his seemingly never ending jokes on the humour thread, brightened up many a day! RIP.

so sorry to hear this sad news, Ive had many a laugh ( and the occasional groan) at Keiths Humour.

please pass on my sincere condolances

Very, very sad. Up until Friday there was a chance I would make a show at the Rotherham meet. Had replied to one of his posts on wing mirrors just a few days ago and he was obviously looking forward to attending. He looks so happy in the photo - and yes, so full of life. Full marks to those who helped fit his new steering wheel and the proposed bodywork clean, not to mention all the assistance given in the aftermath of the tragedy which must have been a great shock for those present. My condolences to the family.

I'm shocked...we were away for the weekend, looked on the site briefly last night but didn't notice the news and have only just found out. Alas I only knew Keith through his (endless) humour, but I know he will be missed by all who laughed and groaned at his jokes.
My sincere condolences to all his family. Neil

I am so sorry to read about the sad loss of Brum29 aka Keith. His legacy to these foums was immense and his contributions stand as a testament to a true lover of life.

My wife and I send our deepest condolances to his family.

God bless you Brum, and thank you for your great humor

Been offline for a few days moving house and just seen this. What can I say?

Obviously a very popular man with an impressive catalogue of appalling jokes. I had a slight disagreement with him on this forum and was humbled by his principled and fair stance.

Sorry to hear the sad news, my condolences to the family.

I echo everyone else ... what can I say???

After driving over 900 miles I reached the Italian coast, checked in to the hotel and of course then got my laptop out and looked for wifi access ... my elation was short lived as I logged on and saw the B&W logo - I thought **** the forum is having probs .... then I read why ....What a waste, never met Brum but it was clear he was a very agreeable and jovial chap and seemed to enjoy life to the max. I shared a few PMs with him on his connection to Malta.

My condolences and thoughts go out to his family. Also a big well done to those at the meet for doing your utmost I'm sure it must have been a shock for you too.

RIP Keff

My sincere condolances also, having lost my dad a couple of months ago this has brought tears to my eyes....I am so sorry for you.

No words can justify the loss but they can soften the blow. Salute Brum29.
