Willy Naessens - Goodbye
Yesterday one of Belgium's best-known entrepreneurs died: Willy Naessens. A successful businessman, who was very popular with his workforce.
He was a horse lover and at the Flemish horse races "Waregem Koerse" he rode the winners of the 'Willy Naessens Hat Trophy' around the course in a fourspan.
I took this photo at the races of 2022, when Willy was 83 years old. He is the man in the pink jacket, the ladies are all wearing (or holding) special hats.
