<DIV>It is our sad duty to report the passing of Johan (Joop) Box at approximately 17:00 GMT today, Thursday, January 19, 2012.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He had a severely infected kidney. When the doctors tried to remove it, they found the area surrounding it full of infection, so they could not remove the kidney.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>His wife, Yvonne, and daughter, Barbara, Sue, myself and Lisandro, P43L, were with him when he passed away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He was a hell of a guy and will be sorely missed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Services are pending. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please include this announcement in all of the appropriate reflectors. </DIV>
