I will never forget Henning saying he jumped in the moat outside Angkor Wat because someone dared him to do it!

I think they belong to Mr. Ezecom, a good friend of Henning's.

Sorry I never had the chance to meet him, but had hoped to, based on what he wrote, and radiated...

RIP Henning my friend.
Henning was one of the real genuine, decent barangs in Cambodia.
I enjoyed drinking with him in Melbourne and PP and his dip in the Mekong on the River Cruise was a boat stopping event. I think his female colleague he took with us thought he was crazy.
No one who met Henning could do anything but like him.
He will truly be missed.

He's been in his room 35 years...time to let him out!
Terrible news
I've been keeping in touch with him lately, as he informed me about his health situation.
About a month ago it seemed his health was going to be manageable and was heading in the right direction. Being his neighbor, I obviously told him if he needed anything just give me a ring. He seemed concerned, but optimistic.
About 2 weeks ago he started sounding a little more worried. At least he said he was able to get the diabetic medicine he needed.
For those who said he hasn't responded to their emails/messages, I know he was already starting to have major trouble with his vision, and was even unable to look at a computer screen at times. Seems it would come and go.
I'm no doctor, but this was really starting to sound worrying.
He sent me a message that showed his condition was going downhill (just a message showing confusion). I was super worried at this point and called him, and he sounded fine (hopeful, at least). He always sounds very calm, and still showed his witty sense of humor. That kind of put me at ease.
Finally, decided we should meet up, and called him. Unfortunately, he informed me he was leaving later that same day (Sept 7, I think) to head to Germany. Missed my chance to see him again. Gave him my email, but never heard anything.
As sad as this whole thing is, and as bad as I feel for his friends and family, I can only smile when I think of him.
As others have mentioned he has gone out of his way to help us out whenever he could. It's hard to find friends like that, especially when living in a foreign country and don't have friends you've known your whole life within 5,000km.
He had a happy life out here, and I'm always glad to meet expats that contribute so much to the community and manage to be successful at what they do out here.
The last thing he told me was that he'd probably be back in a month or so. It will take a while for me to realize we won't be meeting up again.
He will be very missed.

When SunSan suggested to posters they visit Chinatown (Cholon) in Saigon, or take the boat from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh, or that tourists go cheap on hotels, or that a boat ride costs $18, or SacomBank has ATMs in Chau Doc, you could take this info to the bank. And get change! He didn't copy half-remembered things he'd read one time on a forum as too many do. He lived as he reported.
For that and his generous posts with their understated authority, I will miss him. As someone else said, the K440 forum will be much diminshed.
I would love to know a bit more about one of the few guys I was hoping to meet one day out in the real world. So anyone with links to obits or other information, please post.
Goodbye SunSan.
