In memoriam Ger de Bruyn (1948-2017)
Ger passed away surrounded by his family, having battled a short but aggressive disease. Ger was Ger till the last moment, conscious, strong-willed and worrying more about others than himself. Thursday and Friday Ger still followed a live-stream of the symposium for Wim Brouw, a long-time friend and colleague.
Ger was a great scientist, a fantastic human being and a very dear friend to many of us. His memory will always live in our hearts and minds. Attached are two pictures of Ger in a setting where he felt at ease, inspiring and teaching others.
In this very difficult time, our hearts go out to Ger’s family and to everyone around him.
In memoriam Ger de Bruyn (1948-2017)
With great sadness,
All Kapteyn colleagues
