January 16, 2003 – A tribute to our father Hans Zierfuss: “The Flying Dutchman”. It is with great sadness that Marcel and Rene Zierfuss announce the sudden passing away of their father Hans, on December 31st.

Although being detached from the sport and the community for some time, our father's life was forever touched by the wonderful people he met and the moments he shared with them through cycling.

Marcel and Rene would like to particularly thank the following families and people for their contribution to our father's memories and life. The Davidge's, Barry's, Jube's, Sharpe's, Dingle's, Langton's, Seganfrado's, Hansen's, Mulholland's, Currie's, Berend's, Giancarlo Serrafero, Tony Beek (Kevin from the Shop), Johnny from Jet Fuel, Ryan Lamb, and all the former members of the Colnago Cycling Team.

To all of those that knew him and were not mentioned you have not been forgotten, you are in our thoughts. Dad, you will always be remembered with a wink, smile and laugh. Your contribution to our lives will never be forgotten and your presence will always be felt wherever we are. Een laatste groet. Marcel and Rene Zierfuss
