700 mensen, een bomvolle Sint-Romboutskathedraal in Mechelen en één zin die keer op keer weerklonk buiten de muren: “Veel te jong.” Vlaanderen nam vanmiddag massaal afscheid van Hans Otten (55). “Zijn stem kent iedereen, maar zijn liefdevolle vaderstem kenden maar weinigen”, sprak goede vriend Piet Huysentruyt. Zo verliep de ingetogen uitvaart, die eindigde zoals artiesten het liefst optredens afsluiten: met een lang, warm, gemeend applaus.
“One golden gift of yours has not yet come out”: such a subdued ceremony that ended with great applause for Hans Otten (55)
