It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Jeff Keenan, a larger-than-life character with a gentle heart.
After years playing rugby, Jeff took up judo at the Ann Street dojo under Sensei Steadman Davies and, in later years, yoga. Holding the grade of 2nd Dan, Jeff was an avid competitor, winning the prestigious Arthur Lott Trophy three consecutive times. A lesser-known fact is that he was part of a line-up that faced the 1964 Olympic Openweight Champion, Anton Geesink of the Netherlands, during the 1960s.
Jeff was a huge part of the club, and we shared many wonderful memories with him. He will be sorely missed by all.
Diolch, Jeff; cysga'n dawel.
