It was one of the first thoughts that flashed through his mind when the mayor of his present home town of Waalre presented him with the exceptional distinction: 'It is such a pity that my father isn't here to see this'. A year ago Roelof Meijer passed away. While no one will have noticed, or just suspected that this was an emotional moment for Bert, the idea alone is enough to bring tears to his eyes. "My father received his knighthood for his extensive work for others and he was hugely proud of it - he wore the award often and he wanted the title to be mentioned in his obituary."
