<div>I heared the sad news and depressed very much. I met Chris for the first time in Leiden in Syrphidae symposium. </div>
<div>I have a photo with him. It is interesting to me. The photo comes back to the year 2005 when I was a young and inexperienced. It was my proud to take a photo with a well known Dipterist in the world. </div>
<div>All the best </div>

Yes, very sorry to hear that. Very influential person in our syrphidology<br/>
community and with an incredible contribution of knowledge..., he will<br/>
surely be remembered for a long time.<br/>
Bad news in these uncertain times :-(<br/>
