Author Topic: Phillipe Laude RIP Serge Bosschaerts Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Schoten, Belgium Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-18-2004 02:58 AM                        Hello everybody, Today the sad news reached me that Phillipe Laude, who's former screening room you can see in the Picture gallery of this site, has committed suicide last week. Phillipe was a friend and vivid 35mm collector and his knowledge of 35mm and 16mm projectors will be deeply missed here in Belgium. Rest In Peace Phillipe ...

I feel for those close to him , I lost someone close the same way  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-18-2004 08:08 PM                     I am very, very sad to hear about this. I had quite a number of e-mails back and forth with Phillipe concerning the Phillips FP-56 and Bauer projectors. I came close to buying an FP-56 from him this past summer. Alas... it was the shipping problem that prevented this from happening. R.I.P.

He seemed to present a calm and successful and happy-person image. Having dealt with many Hollywood "street" and gay kids that have decided life is not worth it, it always saddens me and I cry no matter what their age. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-19-2004 12:13 AM                        Bon soir, Phillipe.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-19-2004 01:48 AM                     RIP Phillipe  |  IP: Logged
