Just read the news that Soren Venema died much
too early in februari of this year (2021) Me and my
wife have very fond memories of a weekend in
Vichy together with him, visiting the Vichy
Auctions. Of course Soren had his source to buy
his stuff. "It all comes down to knowledge' is what
he always stated. "Try to get information from any
source and judge that with your own common
sense."
beautiful city of Vichy, talking about business,
interesting instruments and we had a fine dinner
with conversation together. At the end of the
weekend he wished us good luck in driving all
the way back to the Netherlands, giving with us
several instruments he bought there. "You have
to go for another 850 kilometres and I'm driving
to Clermont Ferrand to catch my plane and I will
be smoking a sigar at home while you people are
struggling to come back to the Netherlands". On
the moment of return it rained a lot in Vichy but
it was snowing in Clermont Ferrand so no plane
to catch back to the Netherlands. He generously
stated that. Being locked up in the South of
France while we were already at home.
It characterizes his person being honest about
these details. Also still being excited about
meeting Candy Dulfer and her Father Hans
Dulfer in his shop in Amsterdam where we
finished some business we did together. We
were shocked to hear this news as a wonderful
person left us! May he rest in peace.
