Grandmaster Ben Oude Louttikhuis of The Netherlands passed away Aug 27, 2011.
Grandmaster Suggs and I met Grandmaster Louttikhuis in Chicago in 2009 and we quickly became friends. Grandmaster Suggs and I have run into many people over the years in Taekwondo but Grandmaster Louttikhuis was someone special. A man of dignity and character with a warm heart. His contribution to Taekwondo has been huge and he has touched the lives of many people. He will be missed.

Condolences to his family, friends and taekwondo family.
