A fine Forumist is lost to us: Johannes Höller (Hoeller) has passed away

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Also my thanks Karl for posting these wonderful images in memory of Hans !
It must be a devastating loss for his family and friends.  My thoughts go their way.

I am very shocked to read today about the death of Hans, although I was aware of his illness and was told this summer in Austria that it was not going well with him.
But one does always hope that better times will come.
I enjoyed his many pictures here on this Forum very much.
My thoughts go to his family and friends.

thanks, karl, for these images, which would be welcome at any time, but are a very fitting way to remember a plant lover!

Today, the same as most days recently, I chose a few pots with seedlings ready for potting up, to deal with after lunch. Quite at random, one I chose is labelled "Iris attica, Turkey, coll Johannes Hoeller." This is one of several species he sent, and it was for these I had hoped to be able to send Gent. depressa. Alas that it is too late now. I shall treasure these little irises even more now.

Although I knew about Hans' illness and that his chances were not good I was really shocked to hear about his pass away by Karl 
Many thanks for the photos of Hannes. Like most of you we have never met. I wanted to visit him in spring 2008 on my way back from Italy, but unfortunately he had an important date and we didn't find the time to shake hands - now it is too late
Will take good care of the seedlings I grow from his seeds.

I had no close contact to Hans nor knew about his illness but I feel sad such a passionated furumist passed away.
My sincere condolence to his family and to you Karl.
Thanks for posting the great images.

I missed this...
I am growing some beautiful Rannunculus alpestris from seed collected by Hans, and many Cyclamen purpurascens sent by him to me. I will take care of them to live as long as possible and remember me any time of this lovely plantsman.
