Dear Members and Friends of the “Walter Spies Society Germany”.
At exactly midnight, between the 4th and 5th of September, Dr. A.A. Made Djelantik, our Honorary President, passed away peacefully at Sanglah Hospital which he founded many years ago. Yesterday, the present director of the hospital, Prof. Dr. dr. A.A. Gede Sudewa Djelantik, informed me that very soon, ‘Rumah Sakit Sanglah’ in Denpasar will be renamed in his honor.
When he departed, a few family members and close friends were at his side.
Only days before, I brought a long-stemmed white orchid to his bedside together with a large reproduction of Walter Spies’ Scherzo for Brass instruments, a painting that he always loved. Below the picture, I wrote: “Dear Dr. Djelantik, you encouraged us to start the Walter Spies Society in Germany and then gave us your precious counsel. Thanks for all your support. We admire you and love you.”
