Dean "Kreij" Kortenhoven: 1959 - 2014

Dean, BP and I became Moderators at the same time, and then again Senior Moderators, I didn't know him that well before then even though we had been here together for several years, in our 4 years as moderators I got to know him pretty well, whilst I appreciate this is a "virtual" community, what I can say is he was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known and it has been a honour sharing this place with him, I can't imagine the pain his family is going through now and my thoughts are with them.
 
Oh, that's a bit of a shock. Didn't know him personally, but i've seen his posts regularly here on TPU. :(

I only know him from his name but when good guys pass away we ought to take a piece of them to make ourselves better and to honour their life. Condolences to his family and those that knew him.
 
Rest in peace, Kreig, you were a star.
 
:(

My sympathies/thoughts are with his family.
 
OMG, I am really respect this man and never forget him advice's, RIP dear fiend we all will be miss you.
and i feel so sorry for his family.
 
I don't come around these parts so often any more. On this sad occasion, I'm here. Kreij was one of the good guys, who had a great sense of humour, tolerance and wisdom. He was an old guy (like me) and simply someone I always found to be worthy of respect.

RIP
 
This is so unexpected. My condolences and prayers go out to the family. RIP Kreij. You will be missed. :(
 
A true friend, We will miss you buddy.
 
This is really sad news.. Dean was a super good guy, and a great friend. He's also a big reason I'm a Moderator here at TPU. I will really miss our coding conversations, and sharing what new projects we are working on.. My heart goes out to his family. RIP Buddy!
 
:'( RIP Kreij.
 
RIP Kreij:(
 
Did he drop any loot?


Just wanted to give my cyber buddy a farewell troll. Dean was one of the most stand up guys I have met in cyber space. The guy even offered me a place to stay if I was ever his way and talked with me about coming to FL and going muddin in the glades. G-d has a time for everyone and apparently heaven needed someone to do some proper muddin near the gates.

As sad as I am reading the news I know he's happy now. My sadness is my/our loss. He is with his son who he missed dearly. Thats a pain I pray I will never know. All those years apart from him for Dean seemed like a nightmare I am sure. He's home now and I wish them both happy trails. The forum is a little colder but heaven now has a great new Moderator .

Gonna miss you buddy. Beer will be drank and prayers will be said. Thanks for the chance to "know" you man.

Kreij! Damn. I knew he wasn't going to live long after his diagnosis but that still sucks. Another old timer that I had respect for has gone. And that is a very sad thing.
 
RIP
 
I was really shocked and sad when I read the news :( now I know why you weren't replying to my emails.. You will be missed, rest in peace my friend! :(
 
RIP Kreij. I wish the best for your family who is mourning your loss.
 
Rip Uncle Kreij. I myself have a family member diagnosed with the plague that is cancer. This has led me to spend less time on forums lately. This really saddens me.
