Obituary Hub | “Life is beautiful.” by Chris Kase
“Life is beautiful.” This was something Hub said to me often, something he truly believed. This belief was evident in everything he did: whether making the instruments which he continually strived to improve, working in his garden, tilling the fields on his John Deere, or raising a glass with friends and colleagues. These were things he truly loved. If anyone has lived life to the fullest, it is indeed Hub van Laar. A man with a strong personality, to say the least. Hub always spoke his … Read more » about Obituary Hub | “Life is beautiful.” by Chris Kase

Hub
Ik ben uit het theater van dit leven gevallen en beleef een hele eenvoudige vrede. Eenzaam alleen maar tegelijk intens verbonden. I have stumbled out of this life's theatre and now experience a very simple peace. Lonely alone, but at the same time strongly connected. Ich bin aus dem Theater dieses Lebens herausgestolpert und erfahre jetzt einen ganz einfachen Frieden. Einsam allein, aber gleichzeitig stark verbunden. The funeral on Saturday December 31st at 13:00 can be … Read more » about Hub

The Miracle Ack van Rooyen
18 november 2021 overleed Ack van Rooyen op 91 jarige leeftijd. Een geweldige muzikant en dierbare vriend. Bij een glas wijn of bier vroeg Ack zich vaak of hoeveel noten hij wel niet in zijn leven had gespeeld. We zullen nooit weten hoeveel dat er waren. Ik ben er wel trots op dat hij veel van die noten heeft gespeeld op de bugel die we samen hebben ontwikkeld. Het was in 2002 dat Ack mij belde of ik voor hem een instrument wilde maken. Ack heeft toen zeker een week bij mij gelogeerd waarbij … Read more » about The Miracle Ack van Rooyen
