Dear Timme.
Unlike my character and even profession, I have few words to share the sadness I feel when thinking of you being in heaven now.
You left us too early.
And we did not meet enough.
When we meet, you gave me a self-confidence and trust in me, which few people gave me.
And you gave me your wonderful smile, smart intelligence and immense energy which stayed with me ever since. And which I will never forget.
Wherever you are now - I wish you happiness, peace and luck. I wish you are still able to speak to your children and beloved ones, even if from far above. You will stay with them forever.
And with all of us who had the immense chance to meet you.
You stay in my heart.
Thank you for the time we spent together and thank you for having been a part of your life.

Although I did not have the privilege of being one of Timme's closest friends or colleague I nonetheless had tremendous admiration for his entrepreneurial flair and the special skills he brought to the world of EU consultancy. He was also unfailingly thoughtful and kind and will be a tremendous loss to the international community in Brussels.

It is with sadness to learn that Timme has passed away. Timme’s professional guidance and always inspiring mind and energy was second-to-none. A dear friend has passed away. Timmy, you will be missed. My thoughts and condolences go to his family and children.

After many weeks the shock has not eased and I still struggle to find the right words. We shared a ride to training and matches from the early days you joined the club. It did not take long to know for sure we had recruited a talented player and a fantastic person. We only met occassionally since a few years but that first impression never changed. You are greatly missed.

Such a loss!
I will remember Timme and his smile! I will also remember him on the pitch when Italy played Denmark in the EP tournament:-) usually we won but a beer together was always welcome
Sincere condoleances to his family and love ones!
We will miss his smile! Ciao Timme!

I could not believe the news that day
Oh, I couldn't close my eyes
And make it go away
Timme, a man with a great sympathy and positive attitude to life. When me met at the start of the Cabinet DN adventure we immediately got well along. While less linked professionally later, it was always a pleasure to have spontaneous meetings to talk about sports, life in Brussels, rising children and other beautiful things of this world.
Now, passed away to another one, I will regret for not having the opportunity to continue seeing his smile and engage in a conversation on new things do to together that we have planned after the summer break.
All my condoleances to the family, colleagues and beloved ones.

I've had to take very long how to best put into words the loss that Timme's passing away has left behind. Having had the pleasure to work with - and learn from - him, it is not made any easier by the void that he is leaving behind and which can since be felt each and every day. So I can only say that with Timme goes more than a colleague, but a truly fantastic person, whose contagiously upbeat and supportive spirit is being dearly missed. Thank you, Timme, for being who you are.

Such a cruel loss.
He helped me in two great ways.
Gave me first job in a world I had wanted to get into.
Gave me a helping hand when I was in need.
I saw DN rise without Timme losing his inimitable style. I shared one room with Timme and Jacob when we were punching to get noticed. How he won business without a clean shave or a tied tie! Though the evil Murdoch poached me away, I made sure I wouldn’t escape the terrible twins. We worked together long after so I, and all of us, could see their great success. Tiggerish, quick, always up to something. His football app, his hotel. His amazing house on Place St Boniface.
A man who knew want he wanted and one of many parts. In all fields, not just football, the striker.
He gave me my last job at a difficult time in a world I’d enjoyed for 10 years. Even with let’s say a tricky client he was always himself.
I last spoke with him a couple of weeks before the end. Him with his friends and family walking out of Sergeant Pepper‘s, bright and full of the joys of a future he’s had just won the freedom to enjoy as he wished.
News of Timme taken ill and then words of life-support could shock no more than news of his death.
It may be age and the rule of tempus fugit. But the scythe has cut deep of late. Andy Carling, Ian Traynor, Julian Priestley and others all taken before their time. But none younger or more tragically that the life of Timme Dossing.
RIP. Fondest memories, Peter and Marianne

My dear Timme,
I just learned this weekend, on my return from holiday, that you passed away, and this devastates me. I will miss you. I think about that day, 8y ago, when we met while we rented our offices at your place at 25 rue d'Arlon. I think of this unlikely evening in Munich at the Oktoberfest a few years later. I think we almost worked together. From you I will always remember a young man intelligent, humble and fun. An assembly of human characteristics that made you a super nice guy. I will miss you. All my condolences to your family and your loved ones.

I only really got to know Timme once he turned 38 and started playing Vets football.
Having read other messages left in this book I now begin to realise that he was not only a game changer on the pitch , but he also changed many peoples life positively off the pitch , and this is a beautiful legacy.
We shared many great victories and our fair share of losses , but the smile was always there regardless.

Timme was the most genuine, energetic and inspiring person, I had the privilege to get to know in my time in Brussels. My most heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be so dearly missed.
Having heard extensively about this particular successful Danish entrepreneur and co-founder of Cabinet DN before meeting him, Timme was exactly as described; a manly man of action, with great humour and a well-developed sense for the good things in life. On not a few occasions, I ran into Timme at some of his favourite spots, where good food and drinks were the prominent features. An afternoon not that long ago, I randomly met him at Café Walvis. Both alone, we spent a good hour or two having a few drinks and talking about work, life, family and the future. Such talks showed his genuine interest in other people, his deep love for his family and dedication to always moving ahead, forward, in life.
I was looking forward to have had more such talks with him in the years to come. Now, I will cherish the moments I did have with him and cherish his memory. Wherever Timme is now, I am sure he is busy making it better.

It is with great sadness that I write these lines as the passing away of Timme left an enormous void in our hearts! I have known Timme for the last 7 years and worked closely with him most of this time! I will never forget the day he hired me at cabinet DN and the countless work trips, challenges and victories we shared since. Timme was one of the most genuine people I have ever met, he had the ability to make everyone around him feel comfortable and smile even in the most challenging situations! I will always remember Timme with his energy, humor and positive drive and I am extremely grateful to have had the privilege to know him and work with him. He will be very much missed, but he will be always remembered and celebrated as he would have wished to!

We offer the family, friends and the entire Cabinet DN team our heartfelt sympathy and a lots of strength in the coming period

Going into the office for over 4 years, Timme was always the person that you would run into and get a smile, who would always ask about how you were doing, but above all, he was there with an incredible sense of humour.
Timme, you will be truly missed. You have left us way too soon, but your smile and laughter will live on. My sincerest condolences to the family, the Teneo CabinetDN team and all his friends. We will miss you.

Det var med stor sorg, min kone og jeg modtog den chokerende nyhed om Timmes alt for tidlige bortgang. Det forekom helt uforståeligt, at vi ikke skulle se ham igen. Jeg har kendt Timme i mere end 10 år og har været klient hos Timme og Jacob de seneste år. Jeg har altid værdsat hans dygtighed og professionalisme. Og jeg har nydt hans gode selskab, hans smittende humør, og skarpe humoristiske sans. Han var altid hurtig med et smil, en kvik bemærkning og klar til en sludder om politik ved kaffemaskinen. Hverdagen på kontoret er ikke den samme uden Timme. Æret være hans minde.

I will forever remember that very long week, the quiet office, and the hope I had each morning walking to work that there will be some good news telling us Timme will rejoin his cabinet DN crew soon. Timme was one of the most jovial, full of life and kind people I have had the priviledge of meeting. He was one to inspire and bring out the best in people. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Timme, and thank you.

Timme has been part of my life since 2000 when I met him in Brussels socialising with colleagues who became friends at work. This says a lot about Timme. He has an amazing talent to bring people together. He is a communicator, not an on-top-of-a-sope-box-on-the-street-kind-of guy, but someone with a natural and very relaxed way to go about. I have always admired his impressive anti-stress capabilities and his overwhelmingly positive spirit. It has been a great privilege to know Timme, and he is indeed a great loss to all of us. We will greatly miss him, but, luckily, at the same time Timme will continue to be a source of positive inspiration and thus a gift to us all. Thanks ever so much for that, my friend!

Though I only knew Timme for three years and met him to join his firm as a colleague, in that time I grew to regard him as a friend. On occasions we argued at work and about work but it was a healthy relationship. My regard for Timme was solid and growing. He was a good man & I will miss him. We will all miss him. My sincere condolences go to his family at this time who have a loss that will be hard to handle as he has left us when he was too young.
We shall all miss him.

I first met Timme as it was my Landlord at Rue de La Paix, he was always friendly and accessible. Then few years later we became neighbours at Rue de Londres, and just few hours before he ended up at the hospital we were watching drones flighing in the street, respectively with our children. He was so happy for the summer, to be with hischildren and holidays still to come. We will miss you very much Timme, I still can't believe it actually. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

On behalf of the team of Considerati our sincerest condolences with this unreal loss. Sometimes live is not fair. It's really sad to have to let go such a vivid, bright and warm person in the prime of his live. We ca only wish you all the strenght in dealing with the emptyness he leaves.

I first met Timme at the European Parliament when we were assistants. He was a brilliant colleague - I always admired how he was on top of things. He saved my skin at least once! Later I remember Timme at parties, Belga, playing ping pong and boules at his house....
Timme you had such energy, such a spark and were so impressive in how you went at life, building your career and your family. It's cruel that you were taken so soon - but some small comfort that you lived every day to the full.
I will not say 'rest in peace' as that is not your way. I hope you are partying, opining and creating great things wherever you are.

I didn´t know Timmie Dossing but I am friends with some of his colleagues and via them I understand that he was a truly great man. I have myself had cerebral haemorrhage almost two years ago and know what a terrible condition this is. I am so sad that Mr Dossing passed away way to early. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, to all those who loved him. Yours sincerely, Morten Fjeldberg, Fredrikstad, Norway

Timme certainly was the most cheerful and unconventional colleague in our office. I did not know him for a long time but I can say he was a very smart and dynamic, but also humble and respectful man, powered by a boundless positive energy.
You will be missed, Sir. My deepest condolences to his family.

It was privilege to have the opportunity to work with Timme as Teneo came together with Cabinet DN in Brussels. Through all the teething problems and issues of replacing furniture, painting walls and tackling electrical wiring malfunctions, he always carried a cheerful outlook to his work, a warm smile and a ready supply of anecdotes on the latest Spanish football results to brighten any mood.
In this moment of terrible sadness, I would like to pass my deepest condolences to his family and closest friends, across the world.

As I saw the information that Timme passed away, I was shocked. I needed a bit of time to realise it.
I’ve been knowing Timme for more than 10 year. I meant to meet him at the beginning of August but I had a family problem and I couldn't see him. I regret very much I can't do it anymore !
He was a great man and a fantastic manager. Life is life and none can make plans on how far we go with it. But when you know someone like Timme, always full of joy, energy, enthusiasm, no word can express the sadness that his end produced.
To his family and friends my deepest sorrow and sincere condolences.

The shocking news still sounds unreal 3 weeks later. Timme was not only smart. He was strong and he was a fighter. I experienced it several times on a squash court and at parties! How can I forget that he was the one who made me join cabinetDN back in 2012? He made the place a safe harbour by taking such a good care of the working environment. He must have been the one pleading to have a gym in the basement even though he could not find the time to hit it.
My thoughts are with his family whom he mentioned very often. They were his far but safe harbour.
Safe last trip my friend!

Kære Timme, familie &kolleger!
Det gør mig så ubeskrivelig ondt, at Timme skulle rives så pludseligt og alt alt alt for tidligt bort fra os. Timme havde en fantastisk udstråling, der lyste op, hvor end han befandt sig. Altid sjov, venlig og uhøjtidelig. Delte gerne god og nyttig viden om EU med os andre. Selv kendte jeg både Timme fra Frit Forum og fra det fællesskab, man får, når man har arbejdet i BXL, selvom det for mit vedkommende kun var som stagiaire i ½ år. Når jeg i de senere år har været i BXL til møder mv. mødtes jeg ofte med Timme, så vi kunne ordne verdenssituationen og heldigvis kiggede han også ind imellem forbi hos mig på Nørrevold. Er ked af, at jeg ikke kunne være med til bisættelsen i lørdags, hvor jeg var ude at rejse
Tænker selvfølgelig først og fremmest på Timmes familie, og dine børn, der nu har mistet deres far. Vi andre har mistet en skøn ven. Æret være Timme Døssings minde.

So unbelievable sad to hear that Timme has passed away. So young, so unfair!
Words come too short to describe this terrible loss. I will always remember Timme as hardworking, sometimes pain-in-the-ass negotiator but mostly as a genuine person always ready to assist and to help. I will never forget the laughs we had together.
I’m happy we’ve crossed paths and grateful that I learned so much from you!
My deepest condolences to Timme’s family and loved ones and specially to his kids!
Rest in peace Timme.

And so it should be.

Mine dybfølte tanker til familien han efterlader.
Timme var min barndomskammerat og bedste ven da vi voksede op i Vanløse fra 6-13 års alderen. Vi delte ikke fodboldinteressen, men vi nørdede med krybdyr, akvarie og møntsamlinger. Begge havde vi stort temperament og havde vore ture, som ikke varede længe.
Husker også da jeg var med ham og søster Ditte på sommerhusferie hos hans mormor og morfar.
Efter han flyttede og skiftede skole, så jeg ham kun sporadisk. Jeg glemte ham aldrig.
Mindes Timme med gode og varme tanker

I had the chance of sitting next to Timme during the opening event of Teneo, where we had a grand evening.

He was always in my thoughts and I will keep him there. I felt only positive energy from him. He was a great mate. I missed him, I miss him and I will miss him so much. Safe travel and rest in peace my dear Timme. Love,

Timme, we are going to miss you! It was such a lot of fun working together on the “bathing water directive” many years ago, but even more fun were the beers we had together from time to time. You managed to combine many talents and were always able to stay calm and in control. An example for many of us. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Timme, we met on the squash court for the first time some 15 years ago and your style of play describes you still well: a fearful fighter on the court, loving to win, and a social animal in post-game. There was no other player like you. Thanks for all your friendship since then. You will be dearly missed. My sincere condolences to your family.

Extremely shocked by this sad news. I have known Timme for more than 15 years as one of the "Danish Tigers" in Brussels.

He will be missed tremendously and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

The last time I spoke to Timme (Place Lux and random passings aside) was during a new biz pitch where both him and a colleague were vying for my then company's business. - I don't actually remember talking business at all and I guess therein lay his strength. He was an incredibly warm character and it was just such a pleasure to be in his presence. - Alas, the EU quarter has lost one of its friendliest faces.
Rest in peace Timme.
My sincerest condolences to all those who loved him.

Timme was a fantastic great guy - dedicated to his beliefs, to life and equipped with a great passion for life and work. Such a shock to loose such a great person this early. Timme was extremely entrepreneurial and skilled. Having lived and met Timme both in
Aalborg and in Brussels I always admired how he and Jacob successfully established a Gazelle company within PA, Timme superseded any beliefts and I was amazed how my old study mate whom I played hours by hours of chess at 4 Maj Kollegiet in Aalborg during night time before heading for university. I lost contact to Timme until he re-approached me eight years after in Brussels. Timme explained deeply about his passion for business and for creating his own family, which he successfully did. Albeit happiness does not always endure, he had two fantastic children who shall live with a dear father's mindset and thoughts - my deepest condolescense to them, their mother and his family. Timme will always be remembered.
Sincerely from your old political rival and yet trustee

Med Timmes alt for tidlige død har vi mistet en ildsjæl og entreprenør, men også en helt igennem fin fyr, som altid evnede at sprede glæde og optimisme omkring sig selv og sine mange gøremål og projekter. Jeg lærte Timme at kende som den ene halvdel af partnerskabet i Cabinet DN og var som mange andre dybt imponeret over den succes, som virksomheden har opnået. Timme var altid i gang og havde også tid til andre forretnings-projekter, som var drevet af den ild, som skal til for at opnå succes. Vi bliver mange, som kommer til at savne Timmes glade væsen og inspirerende kraft. Æret været Timmes minde.

Such sad and tragic news. A great guy who has left us too early. I knew Timme through RBBFC and started playing with him back in 2003. As so many people have said he was such a friendly and warm person, full of positivity, always with a sunny greeting whenever I saw him before a game.
He was a hard working striker for all of the teams he played in. I remember his love for goal scoring, a passion that meant, even in practice, he would curse loudly at missing a chance to score; a frustration that turned again to a smile and a renewed determination to score again.
My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Kære Timme, Jeg er chokeret og dybt berørt over din alt alt for tidlige bortgang. Hvor kan livet være uretfærdigt. Vi lærte hinanden at kende tilbage i 2004 i forbindelse med, at du og Jacob startede, det der hurtigt skulle vise sig at blive en stor succes. Du og Jacob lagde grundstenen og byggede ukueligt Cabinet DN op til det fyrtårn, firmaet er blevet til idag. Det er en imponerende bedrift. Jeg vil huske dig for din positivitet; dit store gå-på-mod; din imødekommenhed; din umiddelbarhed - og fantastiske personlighed. Ære være dit minde!

Hvor uendeligt trist at Timme er gået bort. Jeg vil savne ham. Timme var munter og sjov. Altid klar med en frisk bemærkning og vittig kommentar. I diskussioner var han skarp og velformuleret. Værd at lytte til. Han var også generøs og hjælpsom, hvis der var noget du havde brug for.
Timme skabte sammen med Jacob noget stort med CabinetDN. Det var ikke en tilfældighed. Timme var dygtig i sin rolle som konsulent og rådgiver. Klar i sin analyse og tankegang. En god støtte.
Og så var Timme optaget af fodbold. Professionelt og personligt som spiller og fan. Som Timme tit sagde: Fodbold er vigtigt!
Mine varmeste tanker til familien og Timmes børn.

Lieber Timme,
through all these Brussels years we saw each other only on a few occasions, mostly football-related. But I alway enjoyed your great friendliness and open-mindedness. I am impressed and touched how many of your friends and colleagues find the words to express what you mean to them. May this special Timme spirit stay with them - also to help your children to see in the future, besides from being their father, the man you were.

May you be carried by strength, hope and love.

More than a week has gone by since we heard that our good friend Timme passed away and it is still so hard to realise that he is no longer with us. He was not only our top scorer. Off the field, friendliness, generosity and great sense of humour all contributed to the spirit of our team. The parties at his B&B will long be remembered by all of us. He was a wonderful companion and we will always miss him. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.

Timme, no words can express my shock and sadness to hear of your passing. My sincerest condolences to your much loved children and family. It was an honour and a privilege to get to know you as a Vets 2 teammate and friend in my last 2 years in Brussels. I’m just glad I never had to face you as a defender as you were in my eyes one of the most talented and skilful football players I have played with. We always knew that if you were playing, we always had a chance of victory no matter what the odds were against us. The fiercest of competitors, you were always fair, humble in victory and gracious in defeat. I will always remember your laugh and smile, your amicable nature. Beannachtai libh go bhfeictear arís sibh, until we meet again.

I was so very sorry to hear about the sudden death of your dear colleague Timme recently. It is hard to come to terms with such sudden loss of someone so dear to you, a cherished father and in the prime of his life.
I send you love and prayers and can only hope that with the passing of time such deep sadness will dispel and you will all remember him warmly as the great family man and outstanding colleague that he was.
May Timme rest in eternal peace.

Incredibly sad to hear of Timme’s passing. Working for Timme, it was easy to see that he was an incredibly talented businessman (with a unique managerial style!) but more importantly he was such good fun to work with and excellent company in any situation. His love of football led to many memorable “internal meetings” discussing the finer points of Real Madrid tactics - and of course his own latest goal-scoring exploits.
Timme’s irrepressible good humour, his generosity, and his openness to new people, ideas, and cultures were an example to us all. Condolences to his family and friends, and to all those at cabinet DN.

I was Editor of Public Affairs News (based in London) from 2007-2011, making as many forays to Brussels as budget would allow. I remember Timme from that time, recalling him (and Cabinet DN) as very positive and supportive. I had relatively few interactions with Timme but the few I had all left me feeling that he was a great guy. I am stunned to hear this news, and send condolences to family, friends and colleagues.

I did not know Timme that well, we met through work in Brussels, but he immediately made a lasting impression with his ever present smile, good mood and plentiful energy and great sense of humor :-) I can only imagine he must have been a wonderful father, husband and colleague. Rest in peace Timme.

En forfærdelig nyhed! Vores forbindelse var hverken speciel indgående eller lang, men hver gang jeg mødte Timme var han vedkommende og åben. Jeg nød at følge med i hans liv på Facebook og glædede mig over, at han tilsyneladende levede et dejligt liv. Hans livsrejse og personlighed har været inspirerende for mig. Dét holder den ikke op med at være blot fordi den ender her; alt for tidligt. Mine tanker går til hans familie og til alle de folk, for hvem han betød noget for.

Modtag min dybeste medfølelse og kondolencer. Det er så ufatteligt og så uretfærdigt.
Jeg lærte Timme at kende gennem det politiske ungdomsarbejde i Aalborg og havde senere fornøjelsen at træffe ham i Bruxelles ifm arbejdet for MEP Ole Christensen.
Timme var sjov, dygtig og videbegærlig.
Æret være hans minde.

Lærte Timme at kende, da vi arbejdede sammen i Parlamentet. En ganske særlig person, som altid vil stå tydeligt i min hukommelse. Timme gjorde indtryk på sine omgivelser, var oprigtig og aldrig kedeligt selskab. Ikke til at forstå, at det var nu, at han skulle afsted. Mine tanker går til hans kære børn, hans familie og nære venner i denne svære tid.

Timme, I was so shocked and sad when I heard the news. I can’t believe that I won’t see you anymore on your beloved pitch. We always took a moment in between games, when your game ended and I was about to start mine. I would ask how your game went, and of course how many goals you scored this time. And you would always ask me how I was doing and wished me good luck for the game.
We started at RBBFC around the same time I think, now more than 10 years ago. We did not play that many games together, but I did feel some kind of connection between us, which I very much appreciated and which I will certainly miss from now on... Rest in peace dear friend, you were a great guy!

I am friend of Timme for 18 years. We literally grew together in maturity. He saw all my successes and my failures. He saw my joy and my tears, he saw my dreams and accomplishements. He revised business plans and contracts. We’ve played music together, we shop for furniture, we drank beers & coffees, we co-organised events, we traveled, we’ve exchanged points of views and sofas, and we could accept each other for who we were and not for who people wanted us to be. He loved my son,my husband and my parents. He included all my ventures in his blessings. He traveled wherever was necessary to celebrate or help. We played guitar together. I saw the “born” of the Banjo and I cherished his family and children. He was my oldest friend in Brussels with whom I’ve shared, as well, the value to be true to ourselves while living life and accomplishing our projects and vision. I will miss Timme deeply, and he will remain one expiration of generosity and honesty. I don’t remember clearly my life without the presence of my friend Timme in it. I will have to accept the unfairness of life and mourn this event. My condolences to his family and everyone that was touched by his joy. Ines Pires

I remember very well the first time I met you Timme: My spouse Ines asked if I would not mind that you sleep for one night on our sofa bed in our Brussels apartment as you - due to various circumstances - had no place to stay, were sick of hotel rooms and wanted to have at least a short family/friendship atmosphere by staying with us. It was actually absurd: you - the successful entrepreneur and real estate owner - had for that night no other place to stay. Of course I insisted that you stayed with us how long you would like to and I did not even remember anymore that episode. Unit 2016 when my small family Ines and our new born baby son Sebastian were literally homeless for a couple of days in November and asked you for help. You immediately offered your townhouse and we had a warm and cosy place for us to resettle and base down for 10 days. I will never forget this episode and how you acted as a true friend for us in urgent need. I will be forever deeply grateful for that!
I am missing all the cigars we could have smoked together. I am missing the Don Papas we should have drunken more often and I will miss you as my friend and true friend of my spouse Ines.

To the parents of Timme : just want you to know that you can be proud of the son you made and rise, also be sure that he was very happy. It's very not often to see people so happy, smiling, and open the the others. Without to mention all his sport and professional successes. Timme bring us good energy in Brussels, thanks for that. We will miss you but anywhere you are, continue as you did. You are a great spirit! Roman

In the last three years, Timme has been so much more to me than a boss or a colleague. He has been a true friend - someone I trusted and respected, someone who always made me feel that he had my back no matter what. We clicked at once when I came to work at cabinet DN and this has never changed.
We had the best of times traveling together, talking about our lives and kids, and I wish I had another chance to roll my eyes at Timme (and he LOVED seeing that) because he dragged me to yet another Mexican restaurant I did not like. Or that time he persuaded me to drive his car from Amsterdam to Antwerp and, to reassure me, said that he would have been okay if I crashed it. I will cherish these memories forever.
Timme's heart was always in the right place, he was deeply and truly a very good person. His loved his kids and was very proud of his big and close-knit family, forever and again telling stories about each and every one of them. I am proud to know that he IS my friend. Thank you for everything, my dear Timme. Rest in peace.

Dear Timme,
it was an honor and privilege to have worked alongside you - yet, what matters most is the friendship we had next to our love to work in politics.
you will be dearly missed in Brussels and beyond. I sincerely hope you are in a better place now to which we will all follow at some point in time to have a toast on the great life we had and on what is yet come.
see you again
your friend

I remember Timme first and foremost as a striking partner in the most literal sense: we played together upfront in the RBBFC 2nds team for something like 4 or 5 seasons off and on.
We became friends and would regularly meet up for a beer or a game of squash as Saturday-afternoon football became harder to combine with family life and the rest.
I was so shocked to hear of his passing and think especially of his family. I hope that they can take strength from all of the messages here that show how much he meant to people.
Personally, I will remember his smile and his friendship ... and I will especially miss what I would call his quiet yet very sharp capacity to see the wood for the trees, which made conversations with Timme all the more interesting ...
Timme, may you rest in peace.

I got to know Timme at the European Parliament, back in 2003. Played football against him and thought „this guy should play for RBBFC“, so took him along to training one day. What a lovely and funny bloke! A few years ago I went back to Brussels for a weekend and Timme took his time to come along for a nice meal and a good laugh with some old friends - tack Timme! You will be missed, compadre! Un fuerte abrazo, see you on the other side

Timme gave me my first job in Brussels. Having worked for and with him for 3 years made me fortunate enough to experience and learn from his unique style and personality.
In my experience there were two types of Timme. Timme the tough and fierce boss/business man and Timme the kind and cheerful colleague/consultant. Together they made him both successful and loved.
I first met Timme the ‘boss’. Upon being offered the job I tried to somewhat negotiate the terms, but I did not stand a chance....Timme the boss/business man was fierce, bold and tough. Perhaps he was not the tallest man in town, but he could make anyone feel small when he was in a mood to kick ass. What he sometimes lacked in patience he made up for in energy and entrepreneurialism. He certainly taught me the power of having a ‘can-do mentality’.
Most messages of condolence, rightfully so, underline his social skills. As a colleague I thought he was an exceptional socialiser and networker, but on his own terms and with his own style. With his contagious enthusiasm, boyish charm and genuine smile he won most people over, but if not that was also fine. From what I could see, his genuineness and not caring too much about ‘being liked’ is what made him stand out.
The EU quarter has lost a legend. Timme truly left his mark on this town and will for sure be remembered!

I knew Timme through football, since 2003. Great player, great strike partner, a competitor. He was always positive, always saw the funny side of life and was agreat laugh on and off the pitch. There are not many people I respect and admire but, for all he had achieved in business, property and the like and for the way he changed his life to keep extremely close contact with his kids, despite the distance. I really respected that. Never told him though. You lived life the right way mate, safe travels partner.
by Ben Griffiths
2018-08-10 14:22:59
My first memories of Timme was at RBBFC when I was aged 16, he told me to do the running and he will do the goal scoring. Although I was just 17 at the time, he treated me with the same respect as the other members of the team who were much older than myself at the time.
A few years later when I returned to Belgium, I approached Timme about myself needing to find work and he told me to come into his offices and offered me an internship which was the first respectable company name on my resume. In working with him professionally and on and off the football pitch, he was a smart man, diligent, but most of all... a laugh. A proper role model for someone like myself that helped me get to where I am today.
Rest in Peace boss.

I would not have thought that I would have to write those words one day, given how dynamic, lively and passionate Timme was. I have had the pleasure to work with him at cDN for 4 years, and I will always remember his energy, positivity, entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the well being of our team. I can only cherish the great times we had together, at the office, and outside, because Timme was a hard worker and loved life at the same time.
My thoughts go to his family, his children, all his friends and to my former colleagues. May you rest in peace, dear Timme.

I knew Timme from RBBFC where he has been, without doubt, a goalscoring legend on the pitch and a great friend to so many off it. He always carried himself with so much confidence, it was so impressive. I will never forget his huge smile, his husky & hearty chuckle and some of the great moments shared over a cold beer after games.

My condolences to your family and young children, they have many friends in Brussels.

Querido Timme,
Je n’arrive toujours pas à y croire… comme la vie peut être magnifique et cruelle à la fois.
Le vent t’emporte soudainement, et nous laisse sans mot, sans même avoir eu le temps de nous serrer dans les bras pour nous dire au revoir…
Toi, cet ouragan d’énergie positive, avec qui je ne partageais qu’éclats de rire, à chaque fois que l’on se voyait. Tu es de ceux qui vivaient dans l’instant présent, de ceux qui avaient compris que chaque moment doit être une source de joie pour soi et pour les autres. Que ce soit dans nos interactions professionnelles, dans nos sorties, ou dans notre passion commune du football. Je te revois dans tous ces moments, et seul ton sourire apparaît à jamais.
Je sais que tu as profité de tout, mais il nous restait encore tellement à partager.
Que ta famille sache que tu étais pour moi un homme d’Esprit, doté d’une modestie et sympathie qui te faisaient être aimé de tous. Et tu le resteras toujours, au fond de mon cœur.
Amigo, hoy mas que nunca, quiero cantarte nuestro Hymno hecho para ti : « Hala Madrid ! »

Toutes mes pensées à sa famille, ses collègues et particulièrement à Jacob Lund Nielsen, le mari de mon amie Maïlis. Nous savons qu'ils ont toujours travaillé d'arrache-pied pour gagner le succès dans les affaires.

Your smile and laughter on and off the pitch will be deeply missed. It was an honour to play in the same team many years ago and to become your friend. You were our top scorer and motivator but you always worked very hard and encouraged everyone.

I must have played 10 or 15 times in the same team as Timme. In all the circumstances, he was always the star of the team, scoring lots of goals, allowing us to win matches we were unable to win without him. As all the great strikers, he was a lovely selfish football player who always wanted to score instead of passing the ball to his mates. But there was a very good reason for that : he simply was the best player on the pitch and we always forgave him for that. I will miss his clever game, his smile after the matches and the good camaraderie in the bar afterwards. I also met him twice out of a football context and it was always good to have a chat with him . So long Timme. You were a strong and unforgettable character. You gave us a lot and this box in which I am writing is not large enough to describe your talent and humanity. I am so shocked. JL

I still remember that day in 2005 when Russell told me that two Danes were setting up a business and would be our new neighbours rue du Luxembourg. Leaving a condolence on this page a dozen years after makes me extremely sad. I was never close to Timme but throughout all these years in the Eurobubble I always considered him a friend. And because he was so much part of the picture here, seeing him around always felt reassuring. It now feels things are fucked up. I will miss him so much. My thoughts are with his family and colleagues.

Hvilket chok at høre om Timmes pludselige død. Han vil altid stå for mig, som en gudsbenådet entreprenør, som sammen med Jacob fik skabt en enestående succes i Cabinet DN. Det var en fornøjelse at samarbejde med dem i Bruxelles.
Jeg vil savne hans glade, energiske, diskuterende opslag på Facebook og begræde den forsvundne mulighed for pludselig at støde på ham i Bruxelles eller København.
Tabet må være ubærligt for både familie, kollegaer og venner, men hans eftermæle vil fylde stort og være en fortsat inspiration for os alle. Jeg sender mine varmeste tanker til Timmes efterladte.

Whenever I would run into Timme in the streets of Brussels, he would stop and take the time to have a chat. I will fondly remember those moments. Timme was an exceptional human being - kind, energetic, and always positive. My thoughts are with his family and friends, and in particular with his young children. I hope that whenever they need it, they will be reminded of how amazing their dad was. You will be missed, Timme. Bon voyage!

It is with huge sadness that I learned of Timme’s passing. I was always struck by Timme’s enthusiasm and energy. He had a rare gift of bringing simplicity to complex issues through his insightful and sharp mind, and the time that I spent with him was always enjoyable and engaging. Timme has been taken from us at far too young an age and this a great loss for everyone that knows him. My thoughts are with all of his family, friends and colleagues.
Rest in peace, Timme.

It’s with such great sadness that I’ve learned of the passing of Timme. Although I didn’t have the chance to get to known him well, I’ve always heard positive, uplifting and fun things about Timme.

It is with great sadness that I have learned that Timme has passed away. Timme is part of the Brussels bubble since so long and he built a super strong agency with Jacob.
I had the chance of working with him for the two last years. I will always remember him with his unique style, optimist and positive. I will miss him so much and his laughter will always remain with me.
I express all my deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.
May he rest in peace.

Timme was a young, creative and exceptional man, brimming with new ideas and entrepreneurial energy! As perhaps his first 'client', I remember clearly how he set up meetings with hundreds of MEPs for us during a patent campaign way back in the mid-2000s.... A very nice, down-to-earth gentleman who liked to dream up and do innovative things (even in a serious business setting), such as set up a sports game app or sponsor the care of (I think it was) an ant-eater at a zoo! :) God bless you Timme, your lovely family, and may your warm spirit live on... Sincerely, your friend, Sergej

As Timme’s Office Manager for the past 10yrs, 2 months, it’s with huge sadness that he’ll never be part of office life again and so hard to believe!
I’ve so many wonderful memories of a man who always wanted things done yesterday; ideas which we didn’t think would work but did; generous to a fault; considerate; funny; always down to earth and honest! He’s left a gaping hole in our hearts, but I’ll always treasure his memory.
My sincere condolences and deepest heartfelt sympathy for his loving family, especially to his children whom he adored so so much.
Timme, you’re missed enormously – Rest In Peace!

Profoundly shocked to hear of Timme’s tragic death at such a young age and in a man with such great energy and passion and iconoclastic humour. In eight years of working together we inevitably had ups and downs but his role as a bustling no bullshit striker always won through. Big loss comrade!

Two days before my wedding, I find myself in floods of tears upon hearing of Timme’s sudden death. I was planning another Brussels scouting trip in September and was going to include Timme and Jacob as I had not been able to see them in April. Remembering fondly the scouting trip we made to D.C. a few years ago. He was a lovely man. Holding his children, family and colleagues in the Light.

My friend, my associate, my brother-in-arms Timme Dossing is no more. Words cannot describe the loss I feel. And no space will ever allow me to give justice to the many laughs, the celebrations, the wild ideas, the stimulating arguments, the crazy trips together abroad, the hard hard work, the passion for constant improvement and constant progress, the shared victories, the shared defeats, over these 15 years. But in my heart I shall always remember and cherish each one of them. Safe travels, my dear Timme, until we meet again some day.
by Jacob
2018-08-09 14:46:21
Timme will be missed broadly by all and it was a great shock to learn that he has left us at the prime of his succesfull life. I always associated Timme with life and happiness and opportunism. He would spread positive vibes wherever he went. His smile and warmth will stay with me and I will miss him dearly.
My sincere condolences to his family and many warm thoughts especially to wonderful Irina and Alfred, who were Timme's pride and love.
May he rest in peace

It has been a shock to hear about Timme's passing. I've known him for seven years as a tenant, awlays joking in the corridors, talking about refurbishing, breaking up walls, football, best places to go... he was a free spirit and a great entrepreneur. His smile and positiveness will be missed. To his family, friends and colleagues, my sincere condolences.

Timme's vitality and zest for life makes this hard to believe, it is difficult to find adequate words when something seems so meaningless. I wish courage, grace, and eventually acceptance for his family, friends and loved ones, for the essence of who he was to live on in them.
by Karen Strandgaard
2018-08-09 13:20:54
The EU quarter will be greyer without Timme, his relentless voluntarism and his bright mind. Bumping into Timme on the street would often lead to an impromptu coffee together in order to catch up: on the state of EU, Belgian and Danish politics and football and always also his children and their summer plans. Just in July, he was so much looking forward to the new house in Valby for all of them to spend time in. The news of his sudden passing is so incredibly sad. My sincere condolences to his children, family, friends and colleagues.

I cannot believe I will not see Timme anymore walking down rue Caroly at nine in the morning, exchanging a few words with me on so many different topics, with his unique sense of humour and unfailing enthusiasm. Timme was able to dive into sometimes inextricable dossiers keeping smiling and cheering up colleagues and clients. What a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers to Timme's family and team.
by Pierre Olivier BERGERON
2018-08-09 11:30:29
There are some people that stand out in the Brussels village - and Timme was one of them. With his big smile and youthful sparkle it is hard to believe he was snatched away so young. He built something significant with Jacob, and his legacy will live on through his children and the lives he changed. My sincere condolences to all of you.

I am so saddened to hear of Timme's passing. How can he taken from us in his prime? As a client and a tenant of DN here in Brussels, I have come to know Timme as a thoroughly decent man, full of life, amiability and always with time to stop and talk. He never passed me by in a hurry, always had a smile and could and would chat about anything. Successful as he was in business, he didn't define himself by work or public affairs or the Brussels bubble stuff. More than once did I have to step aside as he trundled down rue d'Arlon on the footpath with his massive trailer bike and Scandinavian wooly hat hurtling at me...laughing as he came to a halt just short for the inevitable chat.
He was particularly interested in discussing Denmark's dismissal of Ireland in the World Cup playoffs...but not too gloating either!!
I will miss him and extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and DN colleagues. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Noel

It is with great sadness that I have learned that Timme has passed away. I meet Timme in 2012 and has since then seen him as a professional cooperation partner, that always looked at solutions rather than problems. His attitude and engagement has always been an inspiration for me and he has always been ready to walk an extra mile to find the right solution. I and many others will miss him. My thoughts goes to his family and especially his two young children. RIP Timme.

It is devastating to learn the tragic news about Timme, that he has passed away. I knew him from our cooperations on the Active House Alliance, where he was a great team player, always carrying a smile, and forward-thinking next steps. Sadly Timme has now `left the table and is out of the game´(Leonard Cohen); we will keep and remember his spirit in the game and at the meeting tables.
My deepest condolences and heavy thoughts goes to his family and close friends.

The Timme I knew and enjoyed was a real entrepreneur: he not only built his own consultancy business but also had the ability to be enterprising in so many other ways. Timme you were a social butterfly and I enjoyed sitting next to you for the past year and hearing you crack jokes. I will remember you as someone that knew how to enjoy life in the fast lane, whilst also caring deeply about the people around you and your loved ones. My deepest condolences for the loss of a wonderful man.

My sincere condolences to Timme's family, friends, and colleagues on his sudden passing. I am deeply shocked about these sad news. I met Timme first when we worked together at BEUC for a short time before he started his career as a consultant. I still recall my visit to Timme and Jacob's first (rented) office! I will remember Timme as an always friendly, always calm and smiling colleague.
My thoughts are with his family.

I think we are all struggling to come to terms with this tragic news.
Timme was also a very good footballer – and played nearly 200 games for Royal Brussels British Football Club following his arrival in Brussels in 2003. A skilful, fast and energetic centre forward with an eye for goal – scoring on average 4 goals in every 5 games that he played and helping us to win a good few games that we probably didn’t deserve to win. More importantly, off the field, in the changing room, he was a lovely guy. Kind, generous. Great sense of humour. We will miss him.
My thoughts go out to his children, family and friends
by Roger Waite
2018-08-08 17:56:43
I worked with Timme when I started in Brussels in 2005 and thereafter would often bump into him in the bars around Place Lux and Place de Londres. As other people have said, he was always full of life - I particularly enjoyed our regular discussions about football, be it the state of Real Madrid, FC Kobenhavn, or the Danish football team. His passing is incredibly sad news and my thoughts are with his many friends, colleagues, and of course his family.
by Rob Francis
2018-08-08 16:59:54
I first met Timme when he was an MEP assistant when I lobbied him on the doomed Sales Promotions Regulation. Our paths would cross again many times over the years - mostly on our beloved scooters - but often as friendly competitors. As a contemporary I have the greatest respect for everything that Timme achieved. Proof that you can succeed as a genuine nice guy who loved life to the full. My deepest condolences to his children and family.

Our deepest condolences to Timme's family. We are tremendously sad to hear about his passing. We have so many great memories of Timme - from the time he passed by our house for drinks dressed as a cowboy (on his way to a Halloween party) and the housewarming dinner and G&T we had just a week before realizing we were expecting our son, to our professional discussions. We shall deeply miss Timme, the summer dinner that we never had, and the coffees at Fika we shall drink alone. Ære være hans minde

I joined the company he created with Jacob only 2 years ago, we did not work regularly together but I appreciated his positivism, his benevolence and his need to be still active. ...

It has taken me days to even begin to understand that Timme will no longer be with us. I am unable to describe him in the past tense. But I will try.
Memories flash like a projector slide as I sit quietly and think of him. Going through old and new pictures continue to make me feel like I am on this emotional roller coaster I am unable to get out of. Sadness, lost, emptiness, crying, laughing, all at the same time.
I think it is safe to say that we all hurt because we loved him. To know him was to love him. We are struggling in our search of WHY. Why did this happen. Why him. I have been struggling with that myself. One thing I know is that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. But rather, it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. What that plan is, I have no clue. But all of us coming together is testament of how much he impacted the world.
My deepest condolences goes out to Timme’s family. Each and every one of you need to know that he valued family with every fiber of his being. How incredibly blessed you all were to call him, Son, brother, father, nephew, cousin.
I want to thank his mom, Ms. Bertolt, for raising a man whom was brilliantly smart, super funny, opinionated, hard worker and joyous to be around. He was a ‘go getter’. A ‘do it’ kind of guy. No excuses. Just do it. He didn’t see obstacles. He saw solutions. He gave great advise…well, 80% of the time. LOL.
He was a traveler, a taco lover, a jazz enthusiast, a Beatles Fan and a DJ, spinning records he only heard in his memories. He wrote music, he played the ukulele, the french horn, the guitar, and spun his arms around in air guitar motion thinking he was the great Jimi Hendrix. He did many things well. Dancing was not one of them. Jaja.
I am grateful and thankful we spent time together in New York City this past June. We celebrated his birthday early. Many celebratory events as well as many futbol gatherings. We painted the town red. I will forever have that etched in my memories.
To the rest of us: Love each day. Love hard, laugh always. Hug those you love just a little bit longer. Tell someone you love them today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
To my dearest Timme,
Thank you. Thank you for the best 3 years of my life.
I will love you forever Dossing. Sleep in Peace my darling.
P.S. – There is baseball in heaven. And you will learn to LOVE IT.
Kisses, Love and Light // Besos, Amor y Luz,

I was lucky to get to work with Timme briefly in the last 2 years, and spent a couple of memorable work Brussels trips with him as a guide. The last time I had dinner in Brussels, we went to a bistro he said is one of his favorites, where he both deciphered the menu and made sure our glasses of wine didn't get too empty. I will miss his humor, wit and insight about the world. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

I have known Timme for many years, but in the beginning at a distance from the Danish Permanent Representation. Timme and Jacob -the winning team in lobbying business in Brussels - were well known in town. Public Affairs firms are not always sufficiently appreciated by diplomats and the press for their contribution to the working and understanding of the European Union. But Cabinet DN was always in a class of its own - more transparent, more open, different in the good sense - due to the personalities at the top and the corporate culture they created.
After joining the team four years ago as a senior advisor, I got to know Timme very well. He was a bulldozer, full of energy with new and original ideas on how to approach a challenge (some would work, others not), unimpressed by people who took themselves too seriously, clearly pro-european but also with a healthy dose of scepticism and understanding of the importance of the nation state. And first and foremost, he was such a nice guy, lots of fun but also a very caring and human person.
Timme, I will miss you a lot and will always treasury our time together.
by Poul Christoffersen

Timme was one of the nicest people I’ve met in Brussels, always with a big smile. We didn’t get the chance to work together a lot at cabinet DN, but the few times we did he always left room to his colleagues to take the lead and was always honest and direct in his feedback. A bit of a strong English accent as well :-) Sending his family and loved ones my sincerest condolences.

I have had the pleasure to be introduced to Cabinet DN by Timme - I was met in a gorgeous drawing room, poured strong coffee and fed a delicious sushi lunch. Timme's hospitality, stories and incredible ability to listen left a lasting impression. This untimely and unfair loss is a tragedy for everyone around him. Keep strong and help Timme's family heal.

We will always remember Timme as a very special person, a great colleague and a friend. I have admired his vivacity, determination, consideration for and loyalty to his colleagues, his friendship. He simply lived life in the fast lane, which is not given to many. Without him, cabinetDN would not have become what it was. Timme will never be forgotten, he will stay forever in our hearts.
Please accept our deepest condolences, words cannot describe how we both feel at this moment.

Da jeg første gang som praktikant i Europa-parlamentets socialistgruppe mødte Timme var han i frontlinjen mellem en tidl. minister som var hans chef og en kommende statsminister der udfordrede; keep calm, act and stay focused var den energi han udstrålede, og som årene gik var Timmes formidable evne til at se muligheder og handling i enhver konfliktfyldt situation tilbagevendende inspiration. Sidst vi traf hinanden i et vejkryds var øjeblikket ikke for kort til et godt skruet mentalt spark bagi - kom nu videre kammarat og få købt det hus! Tak Timme for den opsang, satans at det blev den sidste; det er jeg sku ked af. Æret være Timmes minde.

Timme and I had our differences but food was a common passion that would bring us together. One day, over a nice lunch in Copenhagen, we talked about our fathers, and how they made us, consciously or not, the people we had become, the parents we had become. On this day, all my thoughts go to his children and as they grow up, I hope they will live by his example: dare, always dream bigger, enjoy life in full and don't let work come between you and your family. Farvel Timme

Timme was my guide in Brussels during my time at Starbucks. He made the complexity of European politics understandable but always with a wry smile and a dry wit. He took great pleasure in sitting me, a Brit, opposite a large picture of Margaret Thatcher in his office whenever I visited because he knew I’d react and we’d plunge into a political debate! We did so much good work together, and he supported me and my team with insight, wisdom and fun. I will miss him very much and my thoughts are with you all at this terrible time.

Dear Timme,
When I arrived in Brussels as a student of 23, two of the first Danes I heard of was you and Jakob. Young, energetic, smart political nerds gone business. It was a great story of how to fulfil your dreams in the big EU capital. Later I met you, and I was able to conclude that you were as the story described. No beating around the bush. If you wanna make it, do it. Greatly talented, fun, kind, and always willing to give a bit of yourself.
I want you to know, that not only did you mean so much to those closest to you, but also to a whole bunch of young Danish aspirational Brussels nerds. You were a role model and an inspiration. I could call you no more than an acquaintance, but the loss feels much greater. My thoughts goes to your family, and especially your two kids. I hope they will always know that their dad was not only a hero to them, but a strong character to so many others.
Thank you, and may you always be with your family in spirit.

Timme was an absolute gent. I first encountered Timme when we worked on a cross country pitch for a client in London. I remember enjoying a few beers with him in New York at our annual summit and found him a really cool and witty guy. I was very sorry to hear of his passing and my deepest condolences are with his family.

Timme était un homme avec des valeurs, de l'esprit et très attachant. Brillant & loyal dans les affaires, on partageait une passion commune : l'immobilier. Je viens de perdre un véritable partenaire. Bravo pour ce qu'il a accomplit.

Our hearts are broken for his family and colleagues. What a wise, innovative and principled man! His honest, candid, and tireless advice made everyone around him better, including me. I'm grateful to have known him and pray for his family at this impossibly hard time.

I had the pleasure of pitching with Timme. He had his own distinctive style, mixing charm, wit and insight. He was both a gentleman and a high quality advisor.
My heart goes out to his family, friends and colleagues at what will be an extraordinarily difficult time. Many, many people will be thinking of you and, of course, Timme.
Chris.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Timme once, during the 2017 Summit in New York, a few months after he joined the Teneo family with the DN team. I remember a very bright and gentle man, who I would have liked to get to know better. My most sincere condolences.

After a week between fear and hope, we had to say goodbye to my friend Timme. He was a joy to hang out with, always cheerful to those around him and embracing life with all his energy. All the more tragic is his passing, and I wish his friends and coworkers at Teneo Cabinet DN all the strength possible to deal with this tremendous loss.

I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear of Timme's passing. I had no connection with him: never met or corresponded with him. But I can imagine how devastated his family must be at the loss. Be strong.

Although I never had the pleasure of working with Timme in person, we worked together remotely quite frequently after the acquisition of cabinet DN during the brand transition phase. Timme was a warm, easy-going person with a great sense of humor and it was a pleasure to work with him - I wish I had gotten the chance to know him better. I am deeply sadden by this new. My sincerest condolences to Timme and his friends and family.

Timme was warm, witty, talented and caring. A true gentleman. He always made a positive impact in his understated manner. I had the great pleasure of first meeting Timme in 2017, when our respective companies joined Teneo. Timme's passing is untimely and a tragic loss for family, friends and colleagues. Deep condolences from Asia.

I got to know Timme well over the last couple of years - and in particular when we became close colleagues last summer when our respective companies came together to become one.
It was a genuine pleasure to have had this opportunity to work closely with Timme during this time and it is still difficult to accept the unbelievable events of the last few days: it only seems like yesterday that we were together in New York for the annual company summit; or on top of the roof of his wonderful building in Brussels drinking cocktails at the annual summer party
His sense of fun and humour will always be at the front of mind when i think of him and words are just impossible to find in expressing my sorrow and condolences to Timme's family and loved ones.
RIP Timme - you will be hugely missed by your many colleagues and friends around the world

Timme was the first face I saw at Teneo Cabinet DN when I started as receptionist last summer. One year later, it's difficult to imagine that we won't see him walking around in the office, spreading his joy and kindness. His smile will always remains in my mind and the man will always remains in my heart. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to know such a wonderful man and I would like to thank him for all the happiness he has brought around him.
You will never be forgotten Timme.
With all my love,
Alice

Please accept my deepest condolences for this untimely and tragic loss of a much loved father, husband and in my case, colleague.
Timme had a wonderful sense of fun and a great sense of humour. I had hoped to get to know him better over time and was looking forward to spending more time with him in Brussels and in London. He helped to create a fantastic business in Brussels, he was a much loved colleague and a wonderful husband, father and friend.
He will be hugely missed.
I hope that over time, in addition to mourning his untimely loss you will also be able to remember and celebrate all that he did and achieved in his life. When my mother died recently, remembering all of the happy memories with her over so many years was a great comfort for me.
In the meantime, words cannot express the sorrow at a time when someone so relatively young has been taken so quickly.
