Greetings.
With sad regret I have to give bad news.
The 5th of this month Gerard Methorst set off for a better place.
A few months ago Gerard began to suffer pain and weight loss which were increasing.
After several medical examinations during the pandemic he discovered a very aggressive cancer that metastasized without hope of relief with some treatment.
In this hopeless situation and as Dutch law allows, the euthanasia process was scheduled for the day that indicates because the pain was intense.
I have enormous appreciation towards Gerard, a person always very cordial, kind and generous with me.
Even in his last days he was kind enough to answer the emails where I asked him about his health.
I will miss his emails, where we not only discussed the hobby, but also many other things.
A big hug to your family in this difficult time.
Thank you very much Ada, your wife for staying in touch even at this time, strength and encouragement Ada. Thank you very much for all Gerard, rest assured, one day we'll see each other, not yet, but that day will come.
