Hennie Malan

Postby Leprachaun » Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:46 pm

Fellow aviator please pray for a dear friend who is trulley seriously ill .
I have just returned from a business trip to Mexico and trying to contact Hennie I eventually ended up in the oncology ward where Hennie is fighting for his life .
The old man is trying his best but the cancer is slowly but surely winning the battle .
Time is few and my family and I pray for his peace .
Hennie was one of the pioneers of microlighting in South Africa as well as a well known prop maker
I have just come home from the hospital - in the last two hours things have gone from serious to hopeless ,
He is hanging on and I pray that his passing on will be painless
I will keep you posted Alex (Leprachaun :( :( :(

Unfortunately at 20h20 this evening Hennie passed away - he will be missed by the friends and the family as well as the powered paragliders and microlighters ,
He put up a brave fight , but in the end the cancer won - RIP our dear friend ; Alex and Engela and the Rhino Park aviators :cry:

As n ou my ouderdom is dan lees n ou hierdie tipe berigte met bietjie van skrik. :shock: :shock:
Vir sy naas bestaandes kan ek net se dat daar waar hy nou is hoef hy nie te worry oor propellers nie en elke landing is seepglad.
Sterkte.
