Day and night, Bertus can be found in his roadside restaurant De Lichtmis. ‘His soul will always linger here’

Every day Bertus Huisman (73) sits in the De Lichtmis roadside restaurant in Zwolle. Even after he transferred the business to his son. For coffee. For tomato soup. He still speaks to the staff occasionally. “Felt pads, under the glasses there.” There is no doubt about where his funeral should take place.
