CirX has created our place in the virtual world where we can pursue our passions together. For sure, in another dimension, he is already preparing something so that we (someday) can meet and talk together again. I'm sure about that...

Lovely words Mike, I think you covered everything there, I still cannot get over it somehow how quickly we part company, oh how so suddenly we lose those closest to us.

Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

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

Wonderful words Mike, very profound and delicate, they are a perfect homage for a singular human being as Piet.

Please save us some good seats...

Sleep well my old and dear friend and thanks for all the help

I too join with delay and great emotion, reminding myself of the great work done for the community. His disappearance affected me considerably also for his artistic side which I greatly appreciated. I wanted to see Pete again in a video of him where he and his wife (I hope I remember correctly) filmed with glee and humor and as a couple in love. I understand what it means for a family to lose a member like this... I've been there!! I send Pete's family an affectionate hug and my sympathy for this grave loss. We remember Pete like this....

That video accidentally also features Wilmarli

[SAS~Bombsaway]

That is my favorite video he made. to me it always showed his sense of humor.

To quote Piet: "One cannot take people seriously who can't have a laugh at themselves."
