Two things hit the Inbox late last night. One of them was so moving, that a tearful Missus woke me up to show it me.

Both of them were in response to by posting about Hubert Kosloff - who sadly was killed in a road accident on Sunday.

I won't contaminate them any further, I'll just show you them as I received them.

The first one was from Thomas:

"Hubert was my uncle. A great man, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and pilot who lived his life 120% every day. We always knew he wouldn't leave us lying on a bed, but this seems like an unlikely way to go. It would have made more sense if it had happened on his bike, during the race.

He will be sorely missed by his family in France, Brazil and those of us who live in the United States. He remains, in my mind, the perfect definition of a gentleman. Always corteous, smiling, happy, animated and definitely a way with the ladies.

Hubert, I love you always and will forever remember you. Your legacy will live on in your children, Nicolas and Mathieu, your sister Claudine, your nephews Jean-Marc, Cedric, Alexa and me, Thomas. Not to mention the little ones who have recently or will in the future be part of our family.

On t'aime oncle Hub!

Thomas"

and the second was from ITM-ess.

"please make sure that Thomas, nephew of Hubert knows that all of us, even the ones not actually taking part in the rally but supporting the participants feel the pain of his family..."

I can't add anything.
