[Stoves] Paal Wendelbo - Thank You

[Richard Stanley]

Dear Vette, 

I only met Paal once and at that only briefly, at a stoves conference in Peru some three years ago. I like many found an almost immediate appreciation  for his work especially as it was integrated to his philosophy of development. That combination of compassion and skill is a rare thing amongst the technical crowd and in that , he stood out above many. Trust that his work will be carried forward by many now. Thanks to you too for the support you offered him through the years, for ultimately, none  of us walks alone.

Sincere condolences and my kindest regards for you and your family,

DearVetle and all,
 
I have never met Paal - or others here - in person but he was a passionate man and he will live on in many peoples hearts and kitchens. I feel lucky to have "met" him - may he cook on wherever he is.

Dear Paul, Dean, Crispin and all other stovers

On behalf of my father Paal Wendelbo I wish to thank you for all the work done bringing focus to stoves and household energy in the development countries.

For almost 30 years, Paal brought attention to health and environmental issues connected to cooking and household energy for development countries. Paal found other people, later friends, with similar ideas and thoughts in this stove community. Despite arguments about stove design, function, and whom had the better stove. No doubt he was a pioneer, teacher but also he was a student.

The world have knowledge the problem Paal raised already in the mid 80's. His simple Peko Pe stove invited people think new. He was also a pioneer of TLUD stoves.

Paal Wendelbo past silently away 13.04.2014 with his family precent.

Best regards
Vetle Wendelbo Cappelen with family
