sinus300, Tintin, agpvn and 2 others like this!
Yesterday, May 1st, my father Maarten den Outer, aka Mardou, passed away at the age of 70.
Only 3 weeks ago kidney cancer was detected, spread to his lungs, liver and bones. It was a fight he could not win.
He died peacefully at the hospital with us at his bedside.
After his retirement as an architect my father focussed on his other passion: painting and drawing.
My brother and I had created a website showing is work. It can be seen at mardou.net
One of the projects we did together was the Mardou museum. Architectural design and the paintings is my father's. 3D visualisation has been done by me in BluffTitler.
We had so many ideas to improve the museum and other projects we could do together...
This morning I have added an option to the mardou site where you can download the BluffTitler show files of the museum, including the 3D model: choose MUSEUM from the main menu. Feel free to use it for your own projects.
Thank you dad for everything you did for me.

Very sorry for your loss, Michiel. It seems your Dad has passed on to you the spirit of an entrepreneur, and much artistic ability. It is obvious that, in return, he received the love and respect of his sons - a man cannot ask for much more!

One night a father overheard his son pray:
Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is.
Later that night, the Father prayed,
Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
