Betuwe entrepreneur and clubman Koos van Elk died at the age of 81. He was involved in several Profile car companies in the region and was described as the driving force behind the Ajax event at RKSV Driel in the summer of 1993, which brought the club and the area lasting attention.

On Tuesday afternoon, several hundred people gathered at the premises of the car company he had established in Heteren to bid him farewell. Van Elk was accompanied by fireworks and an honor guard.
