IN MEMORIAM
It is with a heavy heart that FIHRRST announces the
passing on Monday 16 September of Harbrinderjit Singh (H.S.) Dillon, respected
co-founder, much-loved friend, and continual source of inspiration.
Born in Medan on
April 23, 1945, his life was one of dedication towards making things better for
those in most need. Although an agricultural economist by qualification, his
vocation knew no bounds and he filled a variety of positions in Indonesian
political life as a tireless fighter in support of human rights and eradication
of corruption.
The passing of
H.S. Dillon leaves a gaping hole in the heart of each one of us, but also
strengthens FIHRRST’s resolve to continue his life’s work in support of the
underprivileged not only of Indonesia, but of the world.
H.S. Dillon is survived by his
wife, Drupadi S Harnopidjati, three children and two
grandchildren to whom we express our condolences.
