He passed away this past Sunday afternoon 14th September after 89 years of a full life.
In memory I'd like to post this collection of photo's.
The images represent a part of the man he was.
Here's a bit more info on the trip from my cousin Marcus (the historian in the family):
They (Hugo Behrens, Richard Behrens and Theodor Müller) departed Kroondal on 8 January 1947 with their bicycles tied to the roof of their uncle Hermann Misselhorn's Ford V8 - they had organized a lift to Natal.
The cycling part of the journey began two days later 10 Jaunary (Friday) from Wartburg, Natal. They arrived in Stellenbosch on 29 January at 16:15 a Wednesday afteroon.
Hugo and Theo flew to Johannesburg while Richard stayed in Stellenbosch.
Ad Libitum Opa!
