The passing of Ruud
Ruud was a well known contributor of many maritime sites and although he was not too active on CR, then no doubt many members would know him.
His biggest hobby was shipping, an old sailor (chef) himself . He lived in Helmond, a small township near Eindhoven and I use to visit him once a year when on holidays. Ruud lost an arm in an accident in France many years ago and also was thus known as the one arm bandit. He loved football and speed cycling and his T.V. was set on these commands... Ruud was taken to hospital last week with severe kidney problems as I understand. His original first name is Jan Peter, but he always used Ruud on the maritime sites. R.I.P. Ruud. Safe voyage to your last port of call. Jan |

The passing of Ruud
Hi all, got this information from Ruud`s favorite site, posted by Jos Komen http://www.kombuispraat.com
Quote Ik kreeg vandaag diverse mailtjes met de vraag wanneer de crematie of begrafenis van Ruud plaats vindt. Helaas is dit nog niet bekend, ze moeten eerst familieleden van Ruud opsporen. Zodra er iets bekend is hoor ik het van de buurman van Ruud en zal ik het hier vermelden. Translated (mostly) by Google Translator.... Today I received several emails asking when the cremation or burial of Ruud takes place. Unfortunately this is not yet known, they must first locate relatives of Ruud. As soon as something is known, I hear it from the neighbor of Ruud and I will mention it here. Unquote If I get further news, will report asap... or if you receive information, please let us know.... Kind regards Dierk |

I am saddened to see the passing of Ruud. Although we never met we were in contact years ago discussing the Paris/Rouen ships. He was in several of them running up to Sweden at the same time as I was running to Manchester/Liverpool and London. He also worked ashore for a spell in a bar at Gennevilliers (Paris). He had so many stories to tell of his time on the Seine especially of Stockholm Jacks bar in Rouen.
Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Ruud, fair winds and a calm sea old sailor. Alec. Last edited by Trader; 03-10-14 at 10:52 PM. |

Thanks for that Dierk.
It may take some time to locate his family as he did not have any contact with them and as far as I remember one or two of his children live in the U.K. I met his neighbour once and him and Ruud became good friends indeed. It is a sad situation, hopefully we may find out later that he received a proper farewell with his family around. Jan |

The passing of Ruud
Hi all, Jos Komen posted an update on Kombuispraat.com
Quote Allerlei instanties zijn nog steeds op zoek naar nabestaanden van Ruud. Als buitenstaander krijg je helemaal niets te horen over de gang van zaken, een trieste zaak. Zodra er meer bekend is krijg ik dit door van Piet, de buurman van Ruud. Translation, mostly transferred from Google Translator Many authorities are still searching for relatives of Ruud. As an outsider, you get nothing at all to hear about the state of affairs, a sad thing. Once more is known, I get this by Piet, the neighbor of Ruud. Unquote Kind regards Dierk |

Sad news... very sad news....
I feel so sad to learn that we have lost an other good man....
I bid you a last farewell and I hope you may rest in peace Ruud. Thanks for letting me get to know you a little bit through our many chats and mails. We shared a lot of good stories and memories from our active years on the salty waves and we shared our love for the seas and the ships.... Thank you for letting me, and others like me/us, enjoy so many of the great photos in your vast collection. You were always willing to share both photos and knowledge ... I always enjoyed your good company on our common shipping-site´s. Thanks for everything Ruud and Rest In Peace my friend. Last goodbye from Kent
