Today I was informed about the sad loss of my reliable QSL manager, Henk van Hensbergen, PA0KHS. Henk fought a fight for the last two years which he could not win. Nevertheless, he has been remarkably optimistic over the last couple of months. A few weeks ago, however, his illness worsened aggressively.
I will miss Henk as a very enthusiastic radio amateur, always ready to help and to promote the activities related to our great hobby. He was the motor behind the success of our local radio club in the “Dutch contest club competition”. Our club won many years in a row the trophee (a huge pie).
I wish his wife Ria and his children a lot of strength in this difficult period.
May Henk rest in peace.
