I remember the first time he come to one of my fencing seminars, it must have been 6 or 7 year ago.
He was a dedicated student of fencing and history and a good friend. So I say good bye Jocke. And my condolences goes to his family.

I only knew him from his correspondence here but those were generous and I enjoyed comparing speculations with him. He was already missed on this side of the Atlantic and will be more so now.

May he find peace and his loved ones find comfort. May their grief at his loss not be greater than their joy for having known him.

Very sad news, indeed. The world just dimmed a bit. Joachim was as a brother to me.

A good sentiment, Justin. I'll assuredly remember him fondly, and would much rather celebrate the enrichment he brought to my life than to mourn and brood...
Joachim, save me a spot, brother...

For those that may be interested in gaining a little insight into the man our community has just lost the following article from 2006 contains an interview with Joachim in which he describes how he became interested in WMA and how he trained.

May we all remember Joachim as the martial artist that he was.

Joachim was a passionate and loyal frend. A great lover of history he as passionate as he lived he tried to learn as much a he could. As a HEMAist he was extreemly dedicated and as a collector of millitaria and blades likewise. He will be missed by his girlfriend, father and lots of friends all over the world.

33 is much, much too young for a man to catch death's eye. A real tragedy, this is.

My heart goes out to him and his family. Though I did not know him personally, I always valued his postings, and the world is lessened with his absence.
