Air Force Officers class of 1981

Dear Lucas,

During the last months we where searching for u more intens then ever before. Cock de Koning, one of my friends, and yours, was searching the world wide web in an attempt to find you. Since the plan was among some friends from the Air Force Officers class of 1981 it would be fun to meet next september at an air defence reunion. Now we have found you, but life will never be the same.

For 18 months we where very close, 6 months of officers training and after that one year of driving to West Germany on Mondays and back to Holland on Fridays, as we where stationed at several locations in West Germany. Although i have never spoken to you since i kept you in my heart, as i will keep you in my heart now that you have passed away.

Rest in peace dear Lucas, and may your wife and children find the strength to carry on.

With regards
Kees van Kleef
