Kees Tabbers passed away

We remember our former colleague Kees Tabbers, teacher of the classical languages at our school from 1969 to 2011. After 42 years of loyal service, Kees Tabbers finally took his retirement in 2011. Unfortunately, that time proved far too short. After a short but intense illness, Kees Tabbers passed away on 9 June 2017. Generations of grammar school students have fond memories of his enthusiasm for classical antiquity and his broad cultural interests. Mr. Tabbers lived to be 73 years old.
