We have lost Frantisek Vizner
« on: July 01, 2011, 07:34:26 AM »
Dear Czech and Czechoslovakian glass friends.
I just got sad call from Mrs. Viznerova. Frantisek died this morning at 6:10 in hospital in Brno.
I am not able to write more now, just a very bad day for all of us.

Here is the report from the last Vizner event I have helped to organise

sorry, very very sad

That´s very, very sad news, Jindrich! My deepest condolences! I know you´ve known each other for
a while.... My thoughts are with you and his relatives. Wish I´d have had the chance to meet him...

Terribly sad news Jindra, anyone with an interest in CZ glass will likely have at least one piece of his work in their collection and consider his long career and life today.... Condolences to all concerned...
