We loved Niels very much and will miss him. He was godfather to our children and we never saw him as much as we should.

Niels was such a great personality, so witty and interested in a wide variety of topics from politics, to landscape design, travel, antiques and taking care of all his pets. We will surely miss his presence but he always be with us in the memories of the many good times we shared over the years.
