I am very sad and upset to announce to all those who knew and loved Tibor Gellén
that he left us tragically, so suddenly.
In late March, accompanied by his family, he gladly travelled to the Luxembourg
International Dog Show, but when stepping into the show ring, he became ill and,
unfortunately, did not recover.
It is a tremendous loss for his family, his friends and for us all, Hungarian doggy
people.
He was the dreamer and founder the Szombathely-Oberwart dog shows; he organised
the Hungarian side of the exhibition, which took place through decades with his
enthusiasm, with great success.
Despite of his elder age, judging at dog shows always made him very happy.
Recently, I was talking to him on the telephone and he happily informed me about
travelling to Luxembourg. I would never have imagined that this would be was the
last time I could wish him a good journey.
Now, I say goodbye for the last time to a good friend, who left us a legacy of respect
and love, with his family love, hospitality and with his being an honourable true
Hungarian.
Rest in peace!
András Korózs
President of the Hungarian Kennel Club
