Wim van den Berg

With sadness I have to announce that Wim van den Berg, known as 'Dr Dinky' passed away earlier today. He had been battling pancreatic cancer for some time.He was an active member of the Dinky community and lived in the States.My condolences go to his wife Julie and all his family.Dave

Thanks Dave,
Always so sad to learn of a fellow collector passing away.So much knowledge
and enthusiasm gained over the years.Chris Warr.

So did I receive the sad message
from
his family this morning.Wim was of great help by sharing his complete Dinky Toys image documentation with me.His professionally done conversions of well - known Dinky Toys into ' new ' models are famous.Jan

Sad to hear the passing away of Wim,
I bought a few pieces
from
him for my military Dinky toys
and much appreciated his torough knowledge of Dinky Toys

I have been busy
and not on the site the past few days,
so I missed the notice of his death.It is so sad to lose another acknowledged Dinky expert,
and the past few years we have lost so many....Peter Golden,
the Richardson ' s,
and now Wim.My sympathies with his family
and all who knew him.Terry
