********************************************************************** Robert Dick van Houten 15 October 2013 ********************************************************************** Robert Dick van Houten Wish to advise the passing of Robert Dick van Houten, who was a long time GSI man, joined back in the 60’s with the marine vessels in the North Sea. I believe he was on the Sea Search in days when there was an explosives vessel working in conjunction with the recording vessel. Dick was an instrument engineer. I first met him in 1968 in Medan - Sumatra where he was the presiding field serviceman looking after several seismic crews in that part of the world, he later moved into administration and management where he had various assignments in Jakarta, Singapore and in Nigeria. Dick was diagnosed with lung cancer in February of this year, and was given two months to live, he managed to fight till October 15 when he passed. Best regards - Dick Batina **********************************************************************
