Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen loved Kenya. The former Chief Executive Officer of Dutch conglomerate Philips East Africa lived in Kenya for more than 30 years before he was murdered.

His last Facebook conversation was between him and a friend and fellow golfer Eric Veenhuyzen. Below is their conversation,

Eric: Tob, played 18 holes with Gabri and Roy this afternoon at Olympus! You get greetings from them!

Tob: Cohen How small the world is especially with facebook and golf! have you seen my "commercial" facebook page

Eric: Haha, yes, isn't it? A week and a half ago I was sitting on a terrace in Willemstad on Curacao and suddenly I heard "Hey Eric, I thought I recognized your voice!" Are you on the other side of the world and you meet someone you know :-) When will you return to the Netherlands? For the KLM Open? Your commercial page looks good.

Tob Cohen is set to be buried soon after today's postmortem results.

His death has left many in shock and one of his friends Esther Ndisi Bertoli has shared a touching message which read,

Sadness horror and disbelief at Tobs demise. Justice must prevail and perpetrators punished accordingly

Rest In Peace dear friend we will miss your sense of humor, your friendship.
