RIP, Dieter Tuerlinckx, countryside ranger

[buzzard]

Just want to post this as there are many people out there who knew Dieter through his job as a ranger, but I have no way to contact...
Dieter died suddenly, at home, in his bed, on the morning of 21/12. We have no idea what happened but suspect he may have had a hidden heart problem (??). He was 38 years old.
He's leaving behind his beloved 7 year old daughter and 4 week old son. He will be greatly missed.

I'm not sure yet, but not planning to do a formal service here in Caithness, as his family and old friends are in Belgium, but may organise a 'saying goodbye walk', for whoever wants to come, as that would have been his style. Will post details.

I'm stunned... I was with Dieter just last Sunday on his walk at Achvarasdal. A great guy.
