Sad news reached me this weekend. Ben Zijlstra passed away on 29 June 2017. Ben was born 4 Feb 1956. He died way too young.
Ben was ill for a long time but remained positive till the end. Even

Sad news reached me this weekend. Ben Zijlstra passed away on 29 June 2017. Ben was born 4 Feb 1956. He died way too young.
Ben was ill for a long time but remained positive till the end. Even while he was ill, he helped other users on the forum with their problems. His last post :
| | Perhaps we all should take an icecream to cool down. So much trouble in the world.... |
More than 1100 posts. Most posts were to help others.
Ben made a lot of projects. Often with Theo a good friend of him.
Many projects were shared on this forum or his own website.
Ben was a bascom user of the first hour. he started with B8051 and gave many good ideas for improvements. Ben also beta tested bascom-AVR.
I visited Ben years ago at his work place. He was very passionate about his work. Ben knew a lot about networks and electronics. A likable man.
Even before i knew Ben was ill, i gave Ben the 'bascom ambassador recognition' . This because he promoted bascom in a great way.
While Ben passed away, his projects remain for ever. I was lucky to get some of his hardware projects like a bascom-Rolex and the Weather Station.
Ben leaves Intisar (his wife) and Nour (his son) behind. I wish them strength.
I know many of you knew Ben. In case you want to send his relatives a letter :
Wolvegastraat 65, 5036 AG
Tilburg
Netherlands
Rest in peace Ben!
