Felix Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 We learned this morning that Jørgen Møeller Hansen died early on Saturday morning after 6 months illness. A tragic loss. Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is quite deeply saddening to learn the loss of our great friend. I had personally met Jørgen just over 20 years ago in Nordeney, Germany. A couple years later he gave me my first graphic design training in Vienna, Austria. Since then, I had met him several times in Fano, Denmark. Please extend my sympathy to his family. John Mitchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madquad Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Never met him in person. Seen his beautifull kites many times...very very nice. I have been reading the stories on Drachenfoundation and am sure the kiteworld lost a special person My thoughts go out to his family, friends and the kitefamily. May the windforce be with him.

Felix Jørgen taught us that careful management was critical with the larger kites but most importantly if you had your hands on all of the bridle lines then everything would be easy. With a four line kite you have your hands on the bridle lines. Felix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david ellison Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good to see his Rok design flying - lets make a point of showing it to Jørgen's spirit every time the Decs get together. Cheers Jørgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
