Dear Stefan,
My condolences. A great loss to your family and friends. His battle is over, may he Rest In Peace. Dirk was a great man who was a leading figure in our hobby for many decades. I will propagate his mantra regarding the Canadian Army Overseas: “our true liberators”. Sincerely, Hanno

Very sorry to hear the sad news Stefan condolences to you and your family.
Dirk will be sadly missed, he championed CMP collecting in the days when they were regarded as being not as desirable as their US counter parts. He played no small part in changing that situation by providing an unparalleled spare parts service of largely NoS parts for collectors and restorers world wide. Sincerely Pete |

My deepest sympathies Stefan. With the death of Dirk, I have the feeling that we are fewer and fewer to have a consuming passion for WWII vehicles. Perhaps we are an endangered species.
Best regards from Canada
