Team Rochester, New York - Keith Burhans, Skipper


Sonar Team- Roger Cleworth, Keith Burhans, Paul Callahan

Keith Burhans and his team are looking forward to competing in their 2nd National Hospice Regatta Championship. Fresh water sailors from Rochester, NY, teammates Bryan Burhans, Marc Fischer, Terry Shannon and Tim Donovan, bring with them many years of experience in one design fleets that include Solings, J/24s, J/22s, C&C 35s, 8 Metres and Sonars.

Keith has been a member of the US Disabled Sailing Team since ’98. He was a member of the USA Sonar Team in the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. Their Sonar team is designated as the alternate team for the 2004 Paralympics in Athens.

Keith and his wife Susanne, daughters Kristen and Allison reside in Irondequoit, NY and are members of Rochester Yacht Club. They enjoy cruising on their wooden, 41 year old 31’ Pennant Class sloop “Balynda” on Lake Ontario. Keith is president of The Harry H Moore Corporation, which distributes marketing and sales promotion products. He serves on the BOD of Rochester Rehabilitation Center.

Keith and Bryan have had first hand experience with Niagara Hospice, when they were assisted during the death of their father, Bill Burhans. “Hospice care is a wonderful service to have available in a community. To offer death with dignity, in ones home, surrounded by family and friends is very compassionate. It is extremely hard to imagine managing of all the details that Hospice workers address. The compassion, caring and leadership during this emotionally draining time is remarkable. Thank you Hospice, for doing all that you do!”
