I first met Mirko 3 years ago at my first annual meeting - we had lots in common due to his links with Scotland.
The news of Mirko's passing rings a very sad sound with us here in Scotland and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends at this sad time.

Dear Stacey, Jens and Julia,
I have known Mirko for most of my life and keep good memories of him. We played tennis together in out twenties and had great times for many years. Together we have experienced beautiful things on and off the tennis court. During that time, we also lived in the same apartment building in Heemskerk and spent many evenings together talking about life and enjoying a glass of wine. I remember him always being friendly and generous and having fun with his many friends.
Even though we spoke each other less in recent years, it immediately felt like the old days when we met in Heemskerk. It was always a pleasant surprise when he suddenly popped up from Stavanger. We will miss him dearly.
From the moment we heard that he was sick again, we followed closely how he was doing and always hoped for a positive outcome. We were shocked when we heard that he passed away that quickly. Our heart cries and realize that we lost a great friend way too early. Life can be so hard and unfair.
It is a great loss for you, Jens, Julia and his parents. Our thoughts are with you in this very sad time.
Mirko, it was so great to know you. Everytime I was in Stavanger, you showed me the beauty of your new country and we had always a good time.
This feels so unfair, you have fought until the last. My warmest thoughts and sincere condolences to Stacey and your beautiful children. You spoke with so much love and proud about your family, I wish them all the strenght in the world..
To me you were more than a colleague, you were a friend. I'd like to thank you for that. May you rest in peace.
