Hello All,

I just received the very sad email below from the Chairman of the CSVN. Theo runs the famous Leiden tournaments and is a friend of mine. I am sure many people here are friends of his or know of him. I will keep you up to date.

Hi Harvey

Just half an hour ago I received a message that Theo had a stroke.

He is lame on the right side of his body and can not speak. He is in hospital, we are not allowed to visit him. It is unclear how long recovery will last. Or even: will there be a recovery?

This is all I know now.
Our board will take over the tasks from Theo, so there will be another Leiden tournament in May.

It makes one sad though.

Kind regards
Cock

I just received the sad News that Theo died today. Leiden will not be the same without him.

Beste mensen,

Theo is vanochtend vroeg overleden.
Ik stuur jullie alvast de digitale versie van de rouwkaart.
Ik zal waarschijnlijk mensen vergeten. Voel je vrij dit bericht door te sturen naar anderen die bij Theo betrokken waren.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Hans van der Storm


Theo is on the left of this photo.
