How sad I am to hear about your passing. You were my best buddy in the Tribune newsroom and we shared many laughs. You were honest, kind-hearted and caring. You will be missed by many. My sincerest sympathy to your family who, I am sure, will miss you terribly. You've finally won the lottery, my friend, because you're truly in a better place. xoxo

Condolence: We met Joop at the Airline Conventions and soon became friends..He was always looking forward to the AI conventions and we always sought him out to visit.He sat with us at the convention banquets and we often travelled together at the cities that we visited in. His articles in the journal were from a man who knew his stuff and it showed. We will miss him , and know his family will miss him even more,as he spoke often about them to us. You, his family, are in our thoughts and prayers..We will miss you, Joop!from Ken and Beth Taylor

Condolence: I was very sorry to hear of Jopp's passing. I knew him through Airliners and whether we met at a convention in the USA or at one of our shows in Toronto, I always enjoyed talking to him. A truly gentle man! Even after heated discussion over a point in an article he wrote, we always mended and moved on. I will miss his writings in The Captain's Log and I will miss just seeing him around. Safe landing, my friend!!

Condolence: Rest In Peace Joop...You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: Beste familie en bekenden van Joop,

Het bericht van Joop's heengaan overviel me. Ik kende Joop niet persoonlijk. Vorig jaar hadden wij samen intensief email-contact. Hij heeft een schitterend hoofdstuk verzorgd in het herdenkingsboek "100 Jaar Vliegen Voorbij", een boek dat in Nederland zeer goede recensies kreeg.
Ik begreep vorig jaar uit sommige mails van hem dat hij het zwaar had (vooral met de warmte).
Nu is hij gestorven. Mede namens de uitgever, Cees Rooduijn, en het gehele boek-team geef ik u onze hartelijke condoleanties door.
De nabestaanden wensen wij veel kracht toe.
Moge hij rusten in vrede.

Arie de Bruin, Nederland
