Die ink in sy pen is op, die verf aan sy kwas is droog, hy het sy laaste dialoog in die toneelstuk van sy lewe uitgevoer en dit n\u00e1 \u2019n vol lewe afgesluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 word die bekende Stellenbosser Hilton Biscombe (68), wat verlede Dinsdag 26 April die huidige met die hiernamaals verwissel het, se laaste oomblikke beskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biscombe, \u2019n bekende in kuns- en skryfkringe, is dood nadat hy onlangs \u2019n verkoue opgedoen het. Chroniese obstruktiewe longsiekte, of COPD, is \u2019n paar jaar gelede by hom gediagnoseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dokter het ges\u00ea hy mag nie \u2019n verkoue opdoen nie omdat dit lugvloeiblokkering en asemhalingsverwante probleme veroorsaak. Dit sluit emfiseem en chroniese brongitis in,\u201d vertel sy vrou, Colleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colleen s\u00ea hy het \u2019n vol lewe gelei. \u201cHy was obsessief oor die dood en daarom het hy voluit gelewe. Sy ouer broer, wat Hilton se held was, is dood toe Hilton net 17 jaar oud was, en van toe af het hy \u2019n obsessie gehad met die dood en hoekom dit moet gebeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHilton is in Rhyneveldtstraat by die Rhyneveldt Lodge gebore voordat hulle deur die Apartheidsregering na Idasvallei verskuif is, en hy het lekker kinderjare gehad. Hy het in die Volkskerk grootgeword en ook by die kerk skoolgegaan. Hy het sy geloof en sy menswees aan die kerk toegeskryf,\u201d verduidelik Colleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colleen s\u00ea Hilton was \u2019n goeie huweliksmaat en pa vir sy kinders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het hoofsaaklik die rigtings waarin hulle almal studeer het, aangemoedig. Hy het hulle van kleins af aangemoedig. Toe hy sien Simone stel belang aan drama, het hy haar aangemoedig; hy het vir Monique saam met hom geneem om kunsklasse in Kylemore aan te bied en vir Cleo het hy aangemoedig om te lees en te skryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarom is Simone vandag \u2019n akteur, Monique \u2019n kunstenaar en Cleo het pas haar meestersgraad in kreatiewe skryfwerk voltooi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hilton was \u2019n gekwalifiseerde kunsonderwyser en het ook graag dramas en boeke geskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was volgens Colleen ook baie lief vir mense \u2013 veral kinders en ouer mense. \u201cHy het baie deernis vir oumense en liefde vir kinders gehad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hilton het oor die jare twee dramas geskryf en opgevoer, twee boeke gepubliseer en \u2019n boek oor sy lewe geskryf, wat klaar is, maar nog nie gepubliseer is nie. Hy was ook \u2019n uitstekende videograaf wat die geskiedenis van Stellenbosch oor die jare op kamera vasgevang het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hilton het vir 25 jaar by St. Idas Prim\u00ear skoolgehou voordat hy hom voltyds op sy skryfwerk en videografie toegespits het. Hy was ook \u2019n rubriekskrywer vir Eikestadnuus.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gaan die dreuning van sy diep stem, wat daagliks deur die huis weergalm het, baie mis. Hy word reeds baie gemis, maar ons gun hom die rus.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
