 Topic: "Dutchman" lost his life
Posted: 06 Jun 2010 at 2:57pm |
|
I'd like to inform all the members on this forum that my best friend Theun Dijkman (Dutchman) lost his life last friday evening after a fight against cancer. His fight took more than 2 years. We had contact almost every day. The last time he visited me was 6 weeks ago. He really enjoyed to drive my Allis 200. Many members will remember him of his nice pics and his old movies. We called him here in The Netherlands the walking part book. He knew everything of every type tractor of Allis-Chalmers. Wednesday will be his funeral.

I felt a special kinship with this man. He loved AC orange as I do and all my ancestors are Dutch as are my kids. Being a "Woodenshoe" is something to be proud of. He will be missed. Ken Aggen in Texas
