Sjors Posted June 14, 2013 #395 Posted June 14, 2013 Hi All, I just received this message from John 46 his daughter Suzanne. I will quote her message here, Sent Today, 09:09 PM Dear forum-friend of John,Forgive me if my english is not correct, but I wil try my best to tell you an important message about my father, John. My name is Suzanne, i am the youngest doughter of John. In the last years i have followed the ship-building projects of my father. It was his life work. He spent many hours on what he so called ‘his shipyard’. With a perfection which I admire, he build the most lifelike scale models I have ever seen. On Sunday the 2th of june, after his holiday, at the age of 67, he unexpectedly passed away.With respect to him and the hours of work he spent on the shipyard, the joy he found in sharing his workprogress online on the forum with his friends, it’s very important to me to tell you this message.Within a few days, I will publish a picture of his last project.

Ferit Posted June 15, 2013 #409 Posted June 15, 2013 I am so sorry to hear that, really so sad for the loss of his entire family. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for them, coming suddenly. Even if we have not seen each other, we were friends through the forum and I have really loved him, admired his generosity, optimism, politeness... He was a good man. I will really miss him. I know that nothing that I can say will make dear Suzanne and his family and them who love him, feel better at this time. It is too hard to face this sorrow. I can only pray to God for giving them the patience to be able to bear such a pain... I offer all my sincere condolences...
