Erik Hollaender

Beste Familie Hollaender, mijn oprechte deelneming n.a.v. het overlijden van Erik Paul. Ben diep getroffen door zijn onverwachte heengaan. Ik koester fijne en mooie herinneringen aan hem. Gecondoleerd en heel veel sterkte gewenst. Pablo Verschore, Inkoper bij Amefa.

My dear Babe, My sincere condolences with the passing away of Erik. It came as a shock to me. There are no words that will give you comfort right now, being together with those who you love and can give you support will guide and help you through your grief. Knowing Erik was an enrichment to my life and it is very sad that we have to say goodbye. I wish you strength in this difficult time and hope to see you soon. Louise

I lost my father, Ashok D'Rozario - a very good and old Shikar friend of his from India" - in November 2019 and now I am very sad and so shocked to hear from Uncle Erik´s demise. I have such fond memeories of him together with my father in India. Only a good month ago I received a pictures from U. Erik ...from their shooting trips.... Dear Maria, my sincerest condolences, take care and with all my love, Anuva Lang (born D'Rozario).

Although its in the order of live its still very hard to accept the passing of a dear friend. Having known Erik for quite some time and enjoyed many moments together at various events, regretfully these have come to an end. To Babe and family from Ludo and i hartfeld condolences. Jac de Heer

Dearest Babe - Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel for the passing of Erik. We enjoyed the conversations, drinks, and pheasants you shared with us so much. Stay strong Babe, and keep those sweet memories alive. Love , Casper & Nicolaas

Dear Babe, Shirley and I were deeply saddened to hear of Erik's passing and we extend our condolences. Having known Erik for the past 30 years, I could hardly think of any occasion when Erik was not on time for an appointment. In fact , Erik would typically be early, reading the newspaper that he would have brought with him while waiting. I recall him mentioning once that discipline was 80% of success. We of course have fond memories of the meals and times we spent together. Babe, take care and stay strong. And let us know when you are next in town, Shirley & Alex

Beste familie Hollaender, mijn oprechte deelneming met het overlijden van Erik. Ik heb Erik, in de korte tijd dat ik met hem samen heb kunnen werken, leren kennen als een fijn mens, altijd bereid informatie te geven over materialen en productie processen, oprecht geïnteresseerd in klanten en product ontwikkelingen. Op de bijgaande foto staan een paar van de vele geschreven briefjes waarmee we communiceerden. Ik wens Babe, de familie Hollaender en vrienden van Erik heel veel sterkte toe vandaag en in de komende weken en maanden. Monique Amefa Hong Kong

Beste familie, Vanuit Hongkong onze oprechte deelneming en condolences voor het verlies. Wij wensen u allen veel sterkte toe vandaag en voor de aankomende tijd. Reinier de Smit / Evan Horsman

My deepest condolences to the Hollaender family! Mr. Erik Hollaender’s profession enriched the development of cutlery industry in Asia since 1970’s! Senior people bowed to him and welcomed him warmly when he visited factories. Not because of business, but for his profession and assistance! People requested respectfully to take pictures with him saying to show to their old fathers who had business with him! People in cutlery field in China are sad to learn the passing of him! Here comes the sincere prayer:

Dearest Mrs Hollaender, My deepest sympathies to you and the Hollaender family during this difficult period. May the soul of Mr. Hollaender rest in peace. I know how much you loved him. But I guess God loved him even more. That is why he has called him up there in heaven to watch you from above. I am sure he is still here in your heart and will always be. Mr. Hollaender is the best Boss I have ever met. Over the 20 years working with him, he was always smiling, gentle and hard-working. Whenever we had problems, he would help us with his experiences and guided us with patient. I feel proud and lucky that I have a Boss like him. When I received the news from you. I was so shock and it is hardly for me to accept it. I was expecting him to come back to HK always. I still had email communication with him the week before. Now I do not have the chance to work with him or even no chance to say goodbye to him. I can only hope and pray for him that he can rest in peace and without pain. I will miss him, and he will be always with us. Mrs Hollaender, be strong and take care! I will be always with you. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Big hugs Sonja

Dear Babe, Our warm condolences. We wish you strength in the time ahead. If we can do something for you, please let us know. With kind regards Leny and Piet Høvig

Dear Babe, What a beautiful, solemn and heartwarming service. I have only come to know Erik in the latter years of his life. This service, your loving words and those of his friends and family have completed the picture for me and confirmed what I already knew and didn't need a 'post-it' for: what a real gentleman he always was. To me both you and Erik have been mentors and stalwart friends in a time that was very difficult for me. To see the picture of him in front of the royal jet was a warm reminder of the love of aviation that we shared. Even when he was confined writing instead of speaking about it I was fascinated by his stories of flying (whether it was about a failed landing in South Africa, about being marooned or the lovely way that you two met). I was overjoyed and proud when he noticed my story in the 747-memorial magazine. Erik has left us but I will still sense his presence, both as a friend and as a mentor. I wish you courage in this difficult time and beautiful memories to hang on to in the years ahead. Love, Alex

In loving memory
