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!
