Royce de Vries marked the birthday of his father, the renowned crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, on Saturday. Peter R. de Vries, who passed away in 2021, would have celebrated his 70th birthday this year LINDA.
In a post shared on Instagram, Royce reflected on his father's attitude toward aging, noting that he typically preferred to skip celebrating his own birthdays because he did not enjoy the process of getting older LINDA.
Accompanying his message, Royce shared an old photograph depicting his father holding a bottle of beer in the air. He wrote that despite his father's reluctance toward birthday celebrations, the family continues to acknowledge the special day, offering a toast to 70 years—an age Royce stated his father should have reached LINDA.
The tribute serves as a poignant reminder of the tragedy that claimed the reporter's life. Peter R. de Vries was shot in Amsterdam on July 6, 2021, following a broadcast of the program RTL Boulevard. He succumbed to his injuries nine days later at the age of 64 LINDA.
Speaking about the enduring impact of the loss in a 2022 interview with LINDA, Royce mentioned that he thinks of his father every ten minutes. He clarified that these thoughts are not always heavy or mournful; often, they are sparked by things his father would have found humorous or reactions to current events, such as poor performances by the football club Ajax, which lead him to feel a sense of relief that his father does not have to witness them LINDA.
