Gino Koster

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Gino Koster. He had been ill for some time before he died on 30 September.

Gino was a lively and flamboyant figure in the crane and specialized transport industry, which he had a lifelong interest in, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of. This, combined with his general enthusiasm and positive attitude, was inspiration to the many people who knew him.

Most recently in his working life he was at Mammoet and he was general secretary of ESTA. For many years he was an exceptional contributor to this magazine. He will be sorely missed.
