On Saturday 7 December 2024, Hans Koopmans passed away at the age of 61. Except for a brief foray, Hans worked in the AGF sector all his life, he told us a few years ago when he was working at Scherzer Gemüse. His home base, where his wife and children live, remained Venlo, but in terms of work, he preferred Germany.
On social media, Van Gog Kwekerijen, where Hans also worked, among others, is dwelling on his passing. "We will miss Hans intensely, not only for his professional contribution, but especially for his inspiration, drive, and the warmth he radiated to everyone around him. His warm personality made him a beloved member of our team. In him, we lose a valued employee and congenial colleague. His loss leaves a great void, both professionally and personally. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this difficult time!"
