With unbelieve and shocked I read that my good friend Hans passed away in his promised land like he used to call Indonesia.
When Hans lived in Holland I used to visit him and bought some nice items from him.
From his first journey to Indonesia he brought a tombak for me. He presented the tombak to me with a DVD with the cleaning and the warangan treatment with the words "a nice old tombak for a special friend".
Shortly after that he moved to Java where he married with his wife. Occasionally we had mail contact. As Hans said to me "I'm not such a writer".
Last time when he was in Holland he contacted me. He wanted to part of a keris of which i said once, when you want to let this one go, it would be nice if you would think to your old friend. And that is what he did.

Dear Hans, rest in peace. I wil drink a beer in your memory. A truley good man passed away.
My deepest condolences to his wife and family
