    I can't believe no one has a word for our late friend Boudewijn. He always surprised me with his incredible collection of old photos and was also a very pleasant man. He will be missed. Thoughts for his family.

    Very saddened to learn this. I did not know until I read your post, which will be the same for many here. I always looked forward to Boudewijn's daily postings of classic Ferraris on Facebook and of course his contributions here on FerrariChat. He and his great Ferrari knowledge and enthusiasm will be missed in the Ferrari Community. RIP, Boudewijn.

    That is terrible news. I nver met Boudewijn in person but over more than 10 years we often had contact. He was a great help in helping me with information and photos for the 340 America. He was always willing to sharewhat ever he had. A very generous man. He and his knowledge will be missed.

    Rest in peace Boudewijn

    Oh no! I always rated him as one of the big experts on here. He deserves his own thread. So so sad to hear about this. RIP

    I was very saddened to hear this. Boudewijn and I had swapped Ferrari photos, historical theories and information for nearly 30 years. I will certainly miss this.

    This is the message I get:

    The links don't transfer then.

    Users will have to click on "Members" in the ribbon at the top of any Fchat page and then scroll down the page where the Find Member search box is located.

    Dear member Boudewijn Berkhoff passed away on July 12th I just found out from Facebook.

    I never had the chance to meet him in person but interacted with him on here and Facebook and his knowledge about Ferrari history was simply amazing.

    May his memory be a blessing to his friends and family.
