Paul Cass, 61
December 30, 2022
Last weekend, the well-known helicopter pilot Paul Cass passed away completely unexpectedly. The spotters' world is reacting with dismay. As an instructor and tour pilot, Paul Cass was in demand. During the flights he made around Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), his interplay with the tower was striking. "The tower tipped and pointed out what was coming and what we should pay attention to," says an airplane spotter who was on board with the aim of shooting a number of beautiful pictures. “If a large A380 was approaching, the tower warned. ‘Pay attention to where you are flying in case there is a go-around and for possible turbulence,’ it sounded. Everyone wanted the maximum for the spotters flying along. It wasn't just a matter of spinning around LAX. Paul also made it known to me: ‘We are doing this together, if you see something you want, pass it on’. Thanks to his knowledge and experience, he then managed to steer in such a way that photography could be done from the best angle.” Paul was 61 years old.

Friend of the arts

Michael Hohmann shaped literary life in Frankfurt for 30 years. Now the head of the novel factory has died unexpectedly. When he came down the stairs with his guests, the reading could begin. Or the concert. Or the lively discussion. The program of events that Michael Hohmann put together over three decades in the Romanfabrik on Hanauer Landstrasse contained all of his interests, was based on his entire ability, his joy in the arts, his trust in them. He often asked the poets and writers who were his guests the questions that the audience at the small tables in front of the stage wanted to know answered. Hohmann loved conversation, exchanging ideas and arguments, encountering new things, combining thoughtfulness with wit, jokes and laughter. He was born in Darmstadt on September 13, 1954. He studied Romance languages and philosophy in Mainz, worked as a teacher and received his doctorate with a thesis on Alexandre Dumas the Elder. He taught literature and trained as an actor before taking over the facility in 1992, which allowed him to ask whatever was close to his heart, to the delight of the Frankfurt audience.

Goodbye, “Guti” Navarro: the deep regret for the premature death of a great Asturian athlete
January 2, 2023
I could not believe the news that was reaching me and that is why I contacted yesterday afternoon, January 1, with my good friend Jorge Blanco Teleña (Cangas de Onís) who confirmed the bad omens. “Guti” Navarro had passed away, at 44 years of age, a benchmark for cyclocross and mountain biking in the autonomous community. A person closely linked to the world of sport, both at a competitive level – he had a brilliant track record in World Cups and also in Masters category Europeans – and with regard to the organization of events. A true Champion, with a capital letter.
No cause of death reported.

Boxing prodigy Vassilis Topalos, 16, dies after catastrophic incident
January 3, 2023
Young boxing prodigy Vassilis Topalos – tipped to be a future professional world champion - died after a series of tragic circumstances left him in an intensive care unit. Topalos, just 16 years old and with European Youth honors to his name, suffered a catastrophic incident in mid-December. The Greek boxer was sparring at Tavros Gym when he became unwell, as reported by Proto Thema. The training session was immediately stopped, and Topalos returned to the locker room to try and gather himself. However, he fainted and hit his head on the floor, adding to already suspected injuries to his skull. Those present called medical services, and Topalos was subsequently rushed to Tzanios Hospital. Doctors fought hard to save Topalos and placed the teenager in ICU. He remained there for more than two weeks but sadly succumbed to his injuries. Whether it was the sparring, the fall, or a combination of both is yet to be ascertained. Nikos Yidakos, a trainer in the gym, spoke to Proto Thema to give his first-hand account. He said Topalos was found by another young fighter, Alik Lagazashvili, who heard the fall and went to the locker room to check on his gym mate. Lagazashvili informed the father and owner of the establishment, and they called the emergency services. Sadly, despite surgery to remove a hematoma, Topalos couldn’t be saved.
