He talked me out of having my account deleted here a while back.

I still have the PM in my inbox. It suddenly hurts to read it.

 You did so much good for so many, you passed away far too soon.
                                  Rest in peace good man.

Just FYI, on Saturday, the funeral service for Piet took place within the closest family circle and a few close friends.
I took the liberty of addressing a few words at Piet on this occasion, briefly mentioning our forum as well:

Dearest Piet,

It almost seems like yesterday that our paths crossed.
At the same time, it feels like we've known each other for an eternity.
An eternity with an abrupt, much too early end.

I can't imagine how empty it will feel to spend time in our flight simulation forum without you by my side. Our relationship began with keyboard, mouse, and joystick in hand and developed over the years into a deep, personal friendship. With your passing, you leave behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Besides your impressive professional achievements, it was your personal qualities that really set you apart. You were a friend who radiated warmth and friendliness and always had an open ear and offered words of encouragement. You possessed a unique ability to make everyone around you feel valued and appreciated, creating lasting memories and forging deep connections.

Recently you said to me, "Forget wealth, forget business. The only thing that really matters is how we treat each other."
There is infinite truth in that statement.

You held your head high until the end and showed what it looks like to finish strong.
As we bid you farewell, let us hold on to the memories we shared and the profound impact you had and will always have on our lives.

Rest in peace, dearest Piet. Your spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to call you a friend.
Now that you have departed before the rest of us: please save us some good seats!

With love
Mike

Mike,

Thank you for sharing this.

We could not be there physically but our hearts were there.  Hope you, Wilmarli, and Piet's family and friends are OK.
