Dear John

I bow my head and say goodbye to you. It hurts me immensely never to hear your voice again, never to meet you again.We were very often together at meetings in Europe and overseas, e.g. in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Lille, Valenciennes, Vienna, Valencia, Naples, London, Madrid, Rome, Florence, Beijing or Tokyo. We fought together for good solutions, sometimes winning and sometimes not.

We then travelled privately together we discovered wonderful places in our destinations.

Dear John, you have started your last journey. I wish you all the best, lots of sunshine and everything beautiful and good that you may have missed in life.

I am thinking of you and please, order a large beer and currywurst.

Your dear friend, Daniel from Switzerland
