Dear Suzanne,

I echo Dom’s sentiments, although I did not get to know Maarten that well.

I send you and the family my sincere condolences.

Dear Suzanne,

 

I am so sorry to hear this!  Like Dagmar, it's a long time since I saw Maarten in person, but he was a valued and much-liked friend and colleague who did so much to throw light on the history of medicine in India.  I think we might first have met in 1985 or so, when Jan Meulenbeld held a conference in The Netherlands.

 

My sincere condolences to you, Suzanne, and to all the family.

 

Dominik

Dear all,

I would like to inform you that my father, Maarten Bode, passed away unexpectedly on September 30.
I am not sure exactly who is included in this mailing list or whether you knew him (personally).

Kind regards,
Suzanne Bode
