Mit tiefer Betroffenheit
müssen wir den plötzlichen Tod unseres geschätzten Kollegen Henrik
Nottelmann bekanntgeben. Die Arbeitsgruppe verliert in ihm nicht nur
einen Kollegen und talentierten Wissenschaftler, sondern einen guten
Freund.
We deeply regret the
sudden death of our dear colleague Henrik Nottelmann. Not only are we
losing a colleague and talented scientist, but a good friend.

When
I received few days ago an email with subject "Henrik", the humorous
Henrik of ECIR few weeks ago came to my mind, where Henrik was joking
about getting a PhD and the plan for 2006 seemed clear. Then ... The
death of Henrik leaves his colleagues, friends and family in grief.
I tried to come to terms with his death, and thanks to the people
and vicar in Felsted church, I had an exchange of thoughts and text you
might want to share: "Sudden death is always difficult to come to terms
with, and the more sudden and unexpected, the greater the denial which
may be seen in the bereaved. This may vary from perplexity and the
individual expressing an inability to believe what has happened, or a
refusal to accept reality, to repression of the information. Denial in
its milder forms is best dealt with by simple support and
non-intervention in the sense of trying to produce explanations and
understanding of what has happened."
His close colleagues, family and friends can rely on the support
and thoughts of Henrik's colleagues world-wide, and we will remember
the warm and humorous Henrik.
The Fested vicar reminded me that around 4th century, the 6th
commandment "you shall not kill" became a justification for the
Christian church's response to suicide (condemnation, loss of
absolution, claim of property), and this response had been changed 150
years ago, when the church realised that the suffering of the lost one
and the life of the bereaved are what the church should look after. The
suffering of the lost one is beyond our imagination, and the inability
to understand might keep the bereaved restless.
I hope Henrik found peace, and my thoughts are with his colleagues, family and friends to find the support and peace they need. |

I
have had the pleasure of chatting and having the occasional beer with
Henrik on and off since 2001. I cannot believe that he is not with us
anymore. You would have to search a long time to find such a kind,
wonderfully warm and talented person as Henrik, and he will be deeply
missed.
My thoughts go to his family, colleagues and friends at this difficult time.

It
will be so strange to go to one of these IR events like SIGIR, ECIR,
ECDL, etc.etc., where you expect to meet Henrik and chat on his work
and ideas, and he will not be there!!!
My thoughts go to his parents and closer friends, Arjen |

There are news you never want to hear, especially when referring to such a nice person like you, Henrik.
I will always remember you knocking to my office door, with your warm smile and friendly words.
Thank you for passing trough my life, even if for a few, short times.

I
am still struggling to understand why. We have lost a very talented
scientist, and someboy with lots of warm in him, and lots to offer to
everybody. We just met at ECIR, and we exchanged "jokes" about the the
PhD thesis.
I hope that Henrik has found peace. |

| Although
I met Henrik only once, his scientific competence, but even more his
warmheartedness, openness and modesty left a deep impressen. His
unexpected death is truly a tragedy. |

Hard
to believe that Henrik passed away. I met him here and there in the
last years. I still can't believe it. I'm deeply sad. He was an
amicable person, a friend, and a great scientist.

I
will remember Henrik not as he died, but as he lived - a valued
colleague and collaborator, a friend, a warm and generous person. I'm
glad that I had an opportunity to know and work with him. I will miss
him.

I
work for one of Henrik's projects since april last year. I got to know
him as a very nice, understanding an intelligent young man.
When I heard that he passed away I couldn't believe that and still cannot really realize.
My thoughts are also on his parents, brother and relatives ...
Rest In Peace, Henrik ! |

I'm
also in deep grievance on hearing that Henrik went out of the world. I
was shocked and just couldn't unterstand why such a kind and friendly
person left us so quickly and suddenly...
I began to know him as I
took part in the information retrieval seminar in the last term. He was
always very helpful when we had problems with programing. I can also
remember that I met him just a few days before I read this news on the
web site...
He was always a good teacher for us. I pray for him and may his soul find the peace in the heaven. God will surely be with him. |

I
am profoundly saddened by this news. I only met him twice, but this was
enough to see that he was one of the people one likes to meet when
doing science. Both successful with his own work and very open to other
people's input.
My prayers and thoughts are with him and those whom he left behind.
