A big brother that left a great gap with his untimely death.
Tjom, dis alreeds 30 jaar, maar dit voel soos gister, ek sal jou altyd onthou, daar was nog baie wat ons wou doen.
I hardly knew you as I was in a different platoon but same company. 35 years on and I still think of you, how sad, so many wonderful young men who died. Will never forget you.
