omgekomen door een bomexplosie: op 8 januari 1941 trof een lading bommen het eiland Schiermonnikoog. Een geallieerde Hampden-bommenwerper liet zijn explosieve lading boven het verkeerde eiland vallen. De piloot dacht dat hij zich boven het Duitse eiland Borkum bevond.

De schade was enorm [bron: Vereniging Dorpsbelang Schiermonnikoog heeft ter gelegenheid van 70 jaar bevrijding (voor Schiermonnikoog was dat op 11 juni 1945) een aantal informatieborden geplaatst, waarvan bovenstaande tekst is overgenomen]
