In Memoriam: Jan Vervecken - Angel Rosa
(b.1949 - d.2009)

A very reliable colleague,a full member of the SURFING AIRLINES crew, but moreover a good friend.
Available at any time and always there when needed!
his passing was sudden and abrupt.
Gone and very missed, but never, NEVER forgotten.
...Now we know that there will be always a Pink Angel in heaven watching over the bands - rest in peace, Jan..
