Well said Grigory<br>
<br>
I think I may have photos of Tore too and will look them out.<br>
<br>
There is really a need for a full obituary - I wonder if somebody
would be in a position to write one. Whether perhaps it might be
appropriate for the J. van Syrphidae? I suspect there might also be
space in Dipterists Digest given Tore's standing - I will mention to
Peter Chandler.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards<br>
<br>

<div dir="auto">The passing of Tore is a profound loss that
leaves an ache in the heart. I first came to know him in the
1990s, met him in person in Glasgow in 2011, and remained in
correspondence with him and his wife Ingrid until this year.
Tore was a man of remarkable integrity, kindness, and
generosity of spirit. All who had the privilege of knowing him
will remember his constant readiness to help and support, no
matter the circumstances. I treasure the photographs I have of
him, most taken during symposia, and I believe we could create
a shared folder to honor his memory and the legacy he leaves
behind.</div>
