Henny Huisman (73) said he had no invitation to the funeral of Ron Brandsteder, who has become one year older than him. “I have peace with that,” said the TV star.
They both belong to the larger presenters of their time: Henny Huisman and Ron Brandsteder. Henny is still there and is still hoping for a TV co -back, Ron is no longer there and lived in the shelter in recent years. We have heard Henny about Ron in the show sections of RTL and SBS in recent weeks, but he did not play a major role in this.
Henny not at Uitvaart
Henny was not good friends with Ron and did not work much with him. For that reason, he was not in the TV first weekend of the former let them let them laugh. It will also not have been well received that he has speculated in the national media about which disease Ron has died.
Anyway: Henny was not at the funeral last Monday and that apparently bothers him a bit. In any case, he mentions it in the latest edition of Story. “I have peace with that,” the presenter responds.
Private circle
There was no room for Henny. “His wife Yvonne and sons Rick and Robert have chosen to keep it in a private circle. You have to draw a limit somewhere. “
The last time he spoke Ron was a year ago in the Museum Image and Vision. “I thought he was greatly lost. When I said something about it, Ron replied that it went without saying. That he didn’t have to do anything for it. With no word he mentioned that he was sick. Although I suspected that. “
The big three
Henny points out that in the 1980s and nineties together with Ron and André van Duin he was always called ‘the Great Three’. “At André we always celebrated Christmas Eve, then we played games. With a big smile I now think of those moments back. But also to the story that Ron told me when he was arrested by an agent. “
“Although the agent recognized him, he asked his name. Brandsteder, Ron said. Henny Brandsteder. That agent wrote it down. It is true, because I later saw that Ron had hung the framed ticket at home. I’m going to miss Ron enormously. He died too young, 74! It is very sad that he is no longer there. “
