Re: In loving memory of Henk Joore 27th of June 1956 - 22th of April 2023


What a bad news…

Some 15 years ago I was sent to NL to work on a project for a week,
And a colleague of mine arranged for me to meet with Henk.
Henk accepted us at home with a smile, showed me some BSA parts he just got, his 2CV and his son’s old Volvo (They were working on the gearbox)
And then the bikes at his shed and a skeleton of an old sidecar he was planning to fix.

He and Linda were so lovely, nice and welcoming that it is hard to explain, and I am getting emotional when remembering..

Then, few years later we met at Stafford, at Ian’s tent/booth. Again it was so great to see him and put face to some of the names from the forum..

Few weeks ago, my good buddy David, asked me to write on his behalf to Henk, as his English is not great, and so I did.
Henk was happy with the letter and replied to David.

I thought to wait for a while and write another email to Henk, this time from me.
Sadly and regrettably, I did not have the chance.

May his soul rest in peace.

Noam Zehavi.

Never actually met Henk personally, although I was in contact with him a few times, helping me out with one or two problems, I was always grateful of his services on line R.I.P. Henk you were well thought of by all.

Henk, I and many others will miss you. Always in for good advice, a joke, a good conversation.
You will be missed many, but never forgotten.

Thanks for al the conversations, the tears and laughs.

Truly sad news. I do hope he will be riding his bikes on endless sunny days in heaven. JT

What a gut punch to hear of Henk's passing...Without him I would have sat on the side of the road many times. We met 20 years ago after I bought a WM20 in the east part of Holland and along with his knowledge, expertise and amazingly upbeat attitude, I got to ride along side him many times on the backroads of Arnhem, Oosterbeek, and all though the winding passages of Normandy. We have lost a good man with the passing of Henk.

So sad to hear about Henk's departure. It's been a while since I visited the forum and when I found out about this I was really shocked.
Henk was always very friendly, always answering every query and offering to help.
He will be missed.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Matías.
