Henk Bos dead

[Margeja]

Henk Bos (73), also known under the avatar Margeja on this SRP forum, died on Friday the 21^st of November 2014 due to cancer. He is the author of the booklets Grinding and Honing part 1, 2, 3 and 4. He was working on part 5 but couldn’t finish it. The website www.xs4all.nl/~bosq and the information booklets Info20m will be continued by his daughter Janneke Bos. She will try to continue his work as far as possible. Maybe part 5 will be published (but not at a short notice). Henk Bos wanted to teach the world about old/ancient (almost forgotten) techniques and knowledge. I think he has succeeded. His legacy is of a great value.

Oh my! My great condolences to his family. I had very few interactions with Henk but he seemed to be a very good man. I have read his e-booklets on honing and honing stones many times, he and his wife created a wonderful resource in that. Rest in peace my friend.

That's very sad news and my honestly thoughts are going to his family at this moment.
I met Henk a few times to exchange thoughts about hones and sharpening methods and I always appreciated his knowledge, his experience, his interest for the history and and his never ending thirst to enlarge and deepen the knowledge he has.
It was a great pleasure to meet him and he will always remain a friend for me.

I think all of those here in the forum that are interested in hones and sharpening know his great essays about honing. They are a fantastic source of knowledge and have been very helpful and informative for a lot of us here in the past and will be for a lot of newcomers in the future.

I love to hear that Jannecke is going to continue his great work.
Henk will not be forgotten!

My condolences to his family. The loss of a loved one is a hard road unless that person had instilled in his family a joy for life and the need to always look forward while remembering the past. Based on the information in the OP I would say that his legacy will live on for many generations to come. I am sure the Universe will ease his family's grief and point the way forward in his remembrance.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Good bye Mr. Henk. I've learned a lot of things from you. The hones sub-forum will not be the same without you.
You will be missed.
