Albert Dohmen was trully a great man, and a friend. He surelly is part of
IASL history, mainly in Europe, but also all over the world.
Knowing them since 2000, I am sure that we are lucky to count with people
as Lourense Das and Albert Dohmen in our common path for a better and
kinder World - which is made of minds and actions, hearts and souls.
Thanks, Kathy, for sharing this news, as well as a practical suggestion to
all that wish to send a word of confort.
Words and kindness do matter, as we all are aware of, and Albert showed us
so many times.
Best regards

Dear IASL family -
With great sadness, I tell you of the recent death of Albert Dohmen,
husband of longtime IASL member Lourense Das, at their home in Baexem,
Netherlands.
If you attended the 2015 IASL Conference in Maastricht, you probably met
Albert more than once, as he assisted Lourense and the organizing committee
with many tasks, always with a smile and a willingness to solve any problem.
You may leave condolences and messages to Lourense and the family at
http://www.uitvaart-vangansewinkel.nl/
<http://www.uitvaart-vangansewinkel.nl/> (My browser asked if I wanted to
translate the page from Dutch, which made it easier for me)
You'll recognize Albert's photo with his wonderful smile and can click
through to the Condolence page, which will remain open for 7 days after the
memorial service which was held on 4 February. Then all the messages will
be printed and given to the family.
Sharing in the sadness and in the happy memories of this wonderful man.
