With a heavy heart, we received the news that Gilbert Van Ransbeeck has passed away.
Member of the Oude Tortelduif and known in our area as an avid sprint player. Later, he made the transition to long-distance racing. The long-distance flights and the efforts began to bear fruit this year.
Unfortunately, Gilbert's pigeon story ends here. Gilbert was a wonderful person: always ready for a chat and a beer after the basketing. Many pigeon fanciers will miss you.
Wishing you a safe final flight, and may you fare well.
