Obituary Dick Kwakman

It is with deep sadness that we inform that our beloved father and founder of KIVO, Dick Kwakman, has passed away. After a courageous struggle, he has left us. Dick started KIVO 57 years ago with unprecedented passion, and that passion has never diminished. Until just three weeks ago, he could be found in the office almost every day, always on top of everything and ready to contribute with his keen advice.

His helpfulness and inspiring presence will be greatly missed by us. Dick Kwakman will always be a lasting inspiration to us, and his legacy will live on in the heart of KIVO. Let us reflect together on his legacy and cherish the beautiful memories we shared with him.
