Hello,

Simon was the president and founder of The Belgian Amiga Club. He was also the man who uncovered _and_ archived the (now infamous) BS1 collection. That said, I do not think he was involved with BS1 as a (founding) member.
Aside all of the above, the Amiga community has lost yet another member and yet again, way too soon. My heart goes to his loved ones... 45 years old man - damn. |

Yup, a real shocker, still can't believe it...he sold my whole Amiga hardware collection back then, as a service, really nice guy, had Amiga in the heart, and went way too soon . RIP Simon, was an honour to know you
