Utrecht, the Netherlands April 17, 2008 We are deeply grieved that our colleague Jord Engel passed away last night at the age of 27. Last year Jord received the news that he was very ill. During his illness, Jord always remained optimistic, earning our great respect. Unfortunately, he was unable to win this struggle. We will miss Jord very much, both as a person and as a colleague. Our thoughts go out to his wife Suzanne, family and friends; we wish them strength in this difficult period. Board Econcern Ad van Wijk Dirk Berkhout Kees van der Leun
