ruud
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

Dierk a.o.
It seems that the problem is caused by the local authorities who do not want to pass on any information to non relatives of Ruud. His neighbour tried various times and he also could not find out if any family or relatives have attended the funeral. Most likely we won,t be able to find out more. This was confirmed by Jos Komen, the administrator of Kombuis. Jos was a good friend of Ruud as they also visited maritime spotting sites together. One also wonders what would have happened to the hundreds of boxes of ship photos and all other material , especially related to shipping. Ruud rented a small flat but every inch inside was taken by ship's memorabilia. You could say his flat was an uncontrolled maritime museum...... Jan

New developments, really sad.......
Hi all, I did check every day the site of Kombuispraat for new information, but everybody there was kept in the dark by the Authorities. As they tried to find his family, but without success in England, same Authorities told them to refrain from further questions
Nobody did know that he got a brother, who didn`t know about his death, send emails and X-mas greetings, but without response, thought that Ruud, didn`t want to reply..... Well, the whole sad story can be read here: http://www.kombuispraat.com/viewtopi...f+Ruud#p330421 The 5 messages (till now) can be translated (understandable) by Google Translator. His friends at Kombuispraat are hoping that they can put some flowers on his grave (if it exist), as well as his brother.... Am sorry for my long silence, but nobody, including his brother and family in England received any information until the 10th of April. Kindest regards Dierk
