Luite Cornelius Johannes van Delft - "Luggi"
27th April 1940 - 14th October 2016
"When I come back to the world,
I'll come again as a Gardener,
and the next time I live too,
since this job is too big for one lifetime."
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Luit Van Delft. Many of you will be aware of the wonderful posts from Luit over many years about the Lisse weekly flower shows of the KVAB and of the vast bulb collection of his dear friend Kees Breed, as well as his posts telling of his own experiences and knowledge of plants. He was exceptionally generous to the SRGC and his friendly and expert advice were gratefully received and freely given. Luit, with his charming wife Vroni were a delight to know and it was wonderful to be able to welcome them to the Discussion Weekend of the SRGC when they travelled in the UK.
Luit survived serious health problems some years ago so his demise now has hit us with even greater sadness.
We send Vroni, Karin, Mike and Edwin our sincerest condolences on their loss.
A funeral service for Luit will be held on Thursday 27 October at 1400 hours in the Crematorium Duin en Bollenstreek, Achterweg-62 Zuid in Lisse.
After the ceremony there is an opportunity to offer condolences in the coffee room of the Crematorium.
