Pim is the ultimate professional, while maintaining a sense of humility. He has been the heart of AFSMI and our face in Europe, said John Schoenewald. His intellect and analytical skills are incredible and have been of great value to the association and the industry. The association and I owe our deepest gratitude to Pim for his tremendous contributions over many years. He is a man of many talents and we were fortunate to have him on our side. Everyone that ever came in contact with him certainly remember the occasion as he always makes people feel special. As he enters the next phase of his life he will always “Keep Smiling”.
