Good evening all,
It is with sadness that I must inform you of the passing of
Hans this morning. I have kept contact with the situation through Henk
Winkler during the last few months. It was a sad situation which led to
an inevitable conclusion. He deteriorated fairly quickly over the last
period of time to be a vegetable over the passed few months. Henk and I
agree that this was a relief for all concerned, including Hans as he had
absolutely nothing for the last six months.
I have asked Henk to pass on our sympathy and best wishes to
Dale (his wife) and all of those concerned. I expect that his funeral
will be very low key in keeping with the Hans that we all knew. Henk
will keep me posted but I am not expecting there to be anything to
report but I will keep you informed.

Best Regards to you all,
Keith 'Shiner' Wright

I did query the name too, BC, :-k

thought maybe someone had meant to say "Woelke's passing" and it degenerated into 'Woelkes' (dropping the apostrophe,) with subsequent retellings... :dontknow:

I've changed all previous mentions and assume you're correct with Hans' Official Number... :evil3:

Thanks for the 'heads up'... :happy:

Shiner Wright sent the original email to Bob Mummery, but he has obviously put his own O/N by mistake.

I found the correct details on National Archives. :yes:
