Rest In Peace : Henk Grendel (18-04-1929 – 04-12-2009)

Yesterday evening, 4th of december 2009, at 11.30pm passed my dear friend Henk Grendel away.

I know Henk since my childhood. He owned a Commodore Amiga, like I did at that time. I met him because he was a friend of my father.

People who experienced problems with learning to do computer stuff did sometimes hear me say. Come on. It’s not that hard. My friend Henk is 80 years and he can manage it, that’s right. He did. Sad to write in past time. Henk is no more.

Since a few weeks he had Windows 7 correctly installed on his computer with some tips and hints I gave him. He had to know the difference. Fantastic to see this.

I can remember one time he had a complaint filed with Apple because the sync-program between his iPod and Windows did not function well and now and than his collection was erased. Always funny moment when the people asked him his age. If he called me those moments gave me a big smile on my face. He actually knew more about it than the young nerds who were working at the helpdesk.

He was delighted on gadgets. We shared that interest…

We could have a good discussion… because on some issues we were not having the same thoughts and ideas but always did we respect eachother opinion and feeling.

Henk, Rest In Peace…
