We would like to voice our deepest regret and to express our sincere condolences to Prof. Tomaszewki's family, to all the Polish Friends of ICOMOS and to all his colleagues and friends.  Our Foundation owes him an immense debt, for which we will be forever grateful, and is determined to keep alive the memory of his intense participation (over 10 years), his outstanding cultural experience and his congenial personality.

We feel a deep sense of loss, not only because Prof. Tomaszewski acted as a beacon for the Foundation's activities (most recently, in the context of the “ICOMOS ISC Theory and Philosophy of Conservation and Restoration”), but also and above all because we shall miss his humanity and his sparkling personality, which will leave a deep sense of emptiness in our souls.

We shall endeavour henceforth to pursue his guidance in our work, recalling his extremely valuable lesson and his singular affability in the field of human relationships.

Farewell, dear Andrzej, God Bless you, our love goes with you.
