Hij speelde hockey, voetbal, basketbal en zwom,
zocht stilte in de jacht, eenvoud in het leven,
en vloog de nacht in — een stem zonder graf, maar blijvend in herinnering.
“He played hockey, football, basketball and swam,
sought silence in the hunt, simplicity in life,
and flew into the night — a voice without a grave, yet lasting in remembrance.
