What Rickmp says is right..it is not necessary to tell us the story. We all respect your privacy. Hang in there, Herman.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know your brother but I loved reading his posts. He always had a great outlook on life and a great sense of humor. May Koen rest in peace.
I wish to let everyone know that because of the generosity of CT members, I have reached and surpassed my goal. I have 211.00 sent in, which should be more than enough to purchase coins that Koen would have liked, and pay for shipping to Belgium. If anyone else wishes to donate, I will still accept: however, if you would like to put an idea on what to use it for for Koen's family, that would be best. Or you may choose to contact lucyray to send coins her way, or you may quietly remember Koen in another way. I'm sure just the thought that people are willing to go out of their way to help is a comfort, and I'm sure that Koens' family will realize that people will continue to honor Koen by doing random acts of kindness. I don't think it could happen any other way. Sponsor someone on a coin grading class or give some magazines and supplies to the younger numismatists in your area. Think of all the good people who make up our hobby. The kindness of the people on CT allowed Koen to come out and really contribute to all the people here. May we always remember Koen, and bless all of you. Kasia
What a heartbreaking thread to read! My condolences to the family. I remember well koen's jovial and inquisitive posts on CT. He will be missed.
Koen was a valuable member on this forum. I am very sorry for your families loss, he will definitely be missed.
Thank you all, This is really to much. i am happy that you all are doing this for his kids, Koen would have been happy to. But for the rest as Kasia said: "Sponsor someone on a coin grading class or give some magazines and supplies to the younger numismatists in your area." I know my brother would have loved that idea. Again all thank you for your sympathy and kind words. Regards Herman
