Mogens Kierulff born 30 July 1924, died 3 September 2005

 

Mogens Kierulff died 3 September 2005. Kiermeet in Denmark has lost its Grand Old Man. He was in charge of the first Kiermeet in Denmark in 1990 when, with his great personality and great commitment, he encouraged the Committee to go the extra mile which made Kiermeet a unique success. Mogens also inspired the global cooperation of Kiermeet.

Participants in Kiermeets will also remember Mogens taking the lead in community singing which became a tradition on bus rides, bun fires and dinners.

 

We will miss him.

Let us pay tribute to his memory.
