Dear Caroline and family, I hope you are as well as can be. Jack and tricky shared with me the very sad news so I wanted to send you a big air hug your way , some love and energy. Egon was the first captain i worked for and as you said, a true legend from legend! His guidance and wisdom pushed me to go on with the scholarship as he did to get the OOW of which I’m eternally grateful for. We always remember our first leader in yachting and what a great person to have worked with… His smile, sense of humour and funny rants certainly kept Jack and I on our toes despite us being two naughty deckhands !!! One of my fondest , yet terrifying at the time memories was when Egon sat Jack and I down to calm down and gave me some rather fatherly advice which resulted in me finding a lovely Colombian girlfriend! It was these words of wisdoms which probably saved and helped me develop the career as it is today. I still to this day use this example when coaching young naughty deckhands so a big thank you again for his wisdom. I finally met the lovely Lars last year and it was so lovely to finally meet the man behind all of your and Egon’s stories! I saw so much magic and similarity so I’m sure he’s taking a vital part in ensuring all the family can be as well as can be during this time. I think Lars said you had / were moving back to the UK but if you are still in Mallorca or are soon I’d love to see you and take you for a coffee at your favourite cappuccino spot! Sending you and the family lots of love. Joe lee xxx

Hello Dear Caroline and Family First of all our sympathy and warm thoughts to you all . You will find enclosed differents photos of our Friend Egon . Those photos was taken during our big Adventure up the North in Finland to share the same passion : Snowmobiling .( 2016 and 2017 ) Thanks to Jami a great friend of Egon , I had a chance to meet Egon in Finland in Tahko and then couples times in Lapland where we were riding together with snowmobile friends . We had a lot of fun during those experience in wilderness, guiding by Jami and tougher riders from Finland . We became good friends Egon and me because we had to support each other (we were both the foreigners (uk and Swiss) (smile) Egon had all the time a big smile , he took time to make joke and teasing us all the time A really a good friend with big heart and kind. We will not forget him . In name of the Pitka Reissu team Pascal

What a huge loss. Egon will never be forgotten and for me he always seemed to understand my quirkiness! Sending Caroline so much move and support at this really difficult time. In our thoughts Fallon and family xxx

What a man, what a friend to so many, what a legend and what an honour it has been to have been able to share some great times with Egon. Our eldest left home just before his 18th birthday to learn the ropes in the yachting industry under the watchful eye of Egon & Caroline. We thought he would be gone for a month or so but we didn’t see him for over a year, that alone showed us how at home Egon had been made him feel, even though we did hear he was on the receiving end of a few “Yacht Dad” bollockings lol. There are so few people we could have trusted to look after Josh whilst so far from home but Egon totally transformed his life, it’s even down to this man and Caroline that Josh met his lovely wife Chloe. We’ve been so lucky to have visited Caroline and Egon at their lovely home in Majorca, (he made one mean paella) and always looked forward to seeing them both at family gatherings. His big personality could light up the darkest rooms and it always ended with laughter and smiles when he was around. It goes without saying how much he will be missed, but also how fondly he will be remembered All our love and thought’s Tony, Ruth, Dan, Josh & Chloe xxx

Hello Caroline, Eric and I are sending you lots of love and hugs to you and your family. We were so sad to hear of Egon’s sudden passing. Even though we only met him one time he left such an impression on us, truly a man that was larger than life and was plain to see how he enjoyed every minute of it. We are truly sorry for your loss. We were so looking forward to seeing you both again in March. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days while you grieve his passing. All our Love Julie and Eric

Hi My Lady, I had hoped that what I had been told is not true about My Capitan. I have no words ……. Tonja and I will be praying for your comfort and broken heart. He was a great man, a great father, a great husband, and a true friend. As I always tell people, El Capitan was the funniest person I have ever known, always colorfully articulated in his unique way, that often made this Christian cringe and laugh at the same time. Our political views and philosophies which we shared often, were so in-line and I will forever miss sharing those discussions with him. You will always be My Capitan and My Lady…..

We hope that you find this tribute to Egon a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
