a tragic day... remember Marc Pannier

paulraymaekers · 1st April 2008, 21:23

hello all, I just want to share with you the news I recieved today, while being away from home..

this morning, around 8, one of my best friends and helper on almost all the diveshowes, a fantastic father and grandfather, died in a traffic accident, driving to his work.

everyone of you who visited us at Dema last year, at the Rebreather World party, the Birmingham show, the Paris show, Boot, the course in Florida/Fort Lauterdale, will remember Marc..

we planned many exiting things for the near future: the maidon expedition in june, diving in San Diego and than the Dema 2008 show, so many other things..

life is not what we plan..

we will keep remembering all the great times we had together

Paul,

I am very sorry for your loss.
You are right that life is not what we plan.

I just moved so I could walk to work...
I'll hug my little boy tonight in Marc's memory.

Sorry for your loss.

This is very sad news to wake up to.
I only knew Marc from the shows, but he was such a very pleasant person to be around.
I can only imagine who hard it must hit his family and friends.
My heartfelt condolences to you, Paul, and to his family.

Very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. The fact that this was not a Rebreather incident is no consolation - a senseless loss either way. Condolences to you and to Marc's family and friends, Paul.

Better days,

John
