BRAMWELL, Robert Fredrick - Rested his oars September 18, 2014. Born August 2, 1947, he was predeceased by his wife, Georgina Theresa 'Tootie'. He is survived by his sons, Robert and Jamie; daughter, Tiffany. He will be certainly missed by his submariner friends, especially Almer and Jeannie Jones; stepchildren, Dawson, Frances and Velda. Many thanks to Peregine Naval Club where a Memorial was held October 18. At Robert's request, he was buried at sea. As Robert would say......May you be a half hour in Heaven before the devil knows you're dead!
