IN MEMORIAM: COR WIJBENGA

Met groot verdriet en diepe verslagenheid delen wij mee dat onze zeer gewaardeerde collega, Cor Wijbenga, op 62-jarige leeftijd is overleden. Cor was meer dan vier decennia lang een drijvende kracht binnen ons bedrijf, en zijn plotselinge heengaan laat een onuitwisbare leegte achter bij zowel zijn familie als zijn collega's en allen die het voorrecht hadden met hem samen te werken.
In memoriam: Cor Wijbenga

Cor trad in dienst bij FIB Technologies Leeuwarden meer dan 43 jaar geleden. Gedurende deze lange periode stond hij bekend om zijn onwrikbare toewijding en passie voor zijn werk. Hij was niet alleen een collega maar ook een mentor en vriend voor velen binnen en buiten de organisatie. Zijn betrokkenheid ging verder dan zijn technische vaardigheden; hij was oprecht geïnteresseerd in de mensen om hem heen, altijd klaar om te luisteren en waar mogelijk zijn steun te bieden.

Zijn overlijden is een grote schok voor iedereen die hem kende. Zijn vriendelijkheid, humor, en collegialiteit zullen enorm gemist worden.

In deze moeilijke tijden gaat onze gedachten uit naar zijn familie en vrienden. Wij bieden hen onze diepste en meest oprechte condoleances aan en wensen hen veel kracht en sterkte bij het verwerken van dit grote verlies.

Wij zullen Cor altijd herinneren als een bijzondere persoonlijkheid die met zijn warmte, toewijding, en professionaliteit een blijvende indruk heeft achtergelaten op iedereen bij FIB Technologies!
