Lieve Wilma en kinderen,

Wij (Harry en ik) zijn erg geschrokken toen we bij Max hoorden dat jouw man zo plotseling is overleden.

Wij wensen jou en de kinderen veel sterkte met dit grote verlies.

Harry en Stien Rijnsbergen

My sincere condolences to all of Pieter Jan\'s family and friends. As many others, I will remember Pieter Jan with a very warm feeling. I met him on many occasions in Atyrau, the Hague, Rijswijk etc. He was always prepared to spend some time to talk socially and catch up on the latest developments, although he was often very busy. Pieter Jan was a very lively, social and considerate person, I will miss him dearly.

Dear Wilma and Family,

I have waited a few days to write because this has been such deeply painful news that it took me some time to gather my thoughts. Pieter was much more than a colleague or a friend to me. He was one of those gifted people who was genuinely good to the core and most interested in what was best for others or the entire team. He was selfless, and when he would make a recommendation or suggestion, you always knew that he considered all facts or sensitive issues before he came to his position. When I would call to discuss a difficult topic or personnel issue, he would have often already addressed it. His awareness of the needs of a multi-cultural work force and respect for those around him placed him uniquely amongst the leadership of the project we worked together. In thinking about how others will remember Pieter, I am sure everyone will be able to think of something they do now that they learned from Pieter\'s example. For Wilma and the family, please accept my condolences on the loss of Pieter Jan- when I think back to our project days in KZ and NL he will be the first on my mind.

Dear Wilma and family,

My most sincere condolences for your loss. Wilma, during the many times that you and I met at the gym, I enjoyed the stories you told me about your family and especially your travels with Pieter. I had great respect for your relationship with Pieter and the warm feelings you shared for one another. You were a great role model as a couple. . I am so sad for your loss. You and your children are heavy on our minds during this time.

Lieve Wilma en familie Kikkert,
Wat een schok om gisteren te horen dat Pieter Jan niet meer in ons midden is. Pieter Jan was een geweldige trainer die ik voornamelijk ken omdat hij elke ochtend dat hij in Nederland was, trouw aan het bad stond om ons te trainen. Hij was onder mee een spontane, leuke, gezellige maar zeker ook eerlijke en geliefde persoon. Hij stond altijd voor iedereen klaar en was bereid die extra mijl te gaan. Hij kon serieus zijn, maar had ook een geweldig gevoel voor humor. Niet alleen in het bad stond hij voor je klaar maar ook waar nodig buiten het bad.
Ik heb mijn twee laatste, maar zeker twee van mijn beste zwemjaren, onder de training en aandacht van Pieter Jan en Wilma doorgebracht. De vertrouwen die hij had in het kunnen en vermogen van zijn zwemmers staat mij nog altijd bij. Die herinnering zal ik altijd koesteren
Ook namens mijn partner, die Pieter Jan helaas alleen kent van mijn verhalen, wensen wij Wilma en de rest van de familie veel sterkte bij dit enorme verdriet.
Veel liefs en sterkte,
Gudron en Tessa

Pieter Jan was altijd zo positief en vrolijk, zelfs om half zes \'s ochtends werd ik altijd vrolijk door hem begroet. En als ik slecht zwom bleef hij altijd optimistisch. Hij heeft voor mij veel betekent in mijn zwemcarriere. Pieter Jan was een bijzonder persoon met zijn hart op de goede plek.

Sterkte
Nina

Energetic, joyful and thinking of others that is how I will remember Pieter. My sincerely condolences to his nearest and dearest.

My deepest condolences.

Pieter and myself worked on a number of projects on the Caspian Sea from 1994. In that time, we had a very good working relationship, clear understanding, and we always had time to meet as friends after work.
Pieter will be very much missed by everyone.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and all those close to Pieter. I knew Pieter as a client in Kazakhstan over many years, as well as a friend for the occasional beer. Pieter was an exceptional professional and a pleasure to work for and with. A true Gentlemen whom will be deeply missed by the industry. I would like to say to his family that whilst mourning your tragic loss, I hope you can take some comfort from Pieter\\\'s reputation and take great pride in his professional conduct and achievements.

Sincerely

Lieve Wilma en kinderen,
We zijn geschokt door het overlijden van Pieter Jan en wensen jullie veel sterkte met het verwerken van dit verlies.
