in memory of my dad

My dad and my hero passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Liezel and I are flying home on Sunday for his funeral.

Words fail me.

Here are some fond memories…

“He had to bribe Liezel to marry me” was their joke. We’re so happy he was there for the moment, even though he was really sick

Content que tu me répondes, j’ai eu l’occasion de refaire du MTB avec Didier Labeille (en Mars) et j’ai revu Serge (Le Crabol) cet été à Vers pour un Triathlon nature…j’en ai chié dans l’eau comme jamais (je faisais comme les sous-marin). Alors OK, quand je verrais les Cadurciens, je leur enverrais tes amitiés.
20 ans et c’est comme si c’était hier!
Quand vous venez en France, mon (petit) appartement est le vôtre!
See you soon!

Bonjour Conrad,
20 années se sont écoulées et je garde tous ces souvenirs de l’Afrique du Sud; ainsi que celui de ton père.
C’est après en avoir parlé à un ami hier soir au restaurant que je décidais de chercher sur internet des news.
Voilà, c’est fait! Je suis désolé pour ton papa et j’espère que ta maman va bien, ainsi que toi et tous ceux que tu apprécies!
Peut-être que l’on se reverra un jour; j’aimerais bien!
Si tu vois encore Kevin, envoie lui le bonjour.
Jacques de Cahors.

Salut Jacques.

Merci beaucoup pour tes mots sympa. Je me rappele de temps en temps de votre visite en Sud Af. Quelle bonnes souvenirs.

Quand je prend la retraite du triathlon (dans 3 or 4 ans) j’aimerait bien rendre visite a Cahors avec ma femme Liezel. Je lui renconte souvent mes souvenirs de Cahors, Galessie Haut et ses gents sympa. Et bien sur mes follies de jeunesse!

Donne mes bonjours a Serge, Brigitte et tout mes amis Carduciens.

A bientot
Conrad

Conrad
Ek en Judith Louw het kontak met jou Pa behou tot ‘n dag of twee voor sy ausfahrt. Hy was rustig en het gelees en die natuur asook sy beeste geniet. Ek kon ongelukkig nie die begrafnis bywoon nie. Ek is bly jy beskou hom as jou hero! Dit vertel natuurlik ‘n storie, asook die fotos.
Ek wonder wat van die plaas geword het, omdat iemand sal belangstel om dit van jou te koop. Laat weet asseblief.
Groete en sterkte vir 2013.
Christo Landman
