Our guestbook was opened just a few days ago. Many entries would help us in these sad hours, as we hope, that you, dear reader, would have had many good memorable experiences with our father / husband, just as we are very grateful for everything he has done for us. - Many thanks from our hearts for the personal words with which we and others are being comforted by those that have already shared their thoughts here. It is such a diversity, from loving details about our father and husband - that made us smile despite our grief, seeing what you saw, when he was still alive - to heartfealt words of condolence that help us handle the loss in another way. In any way, THANK YOU for sharing and helping in such a personal and thoughtful way!!!

I was terribly sad to hear that my dear friend of over 30 years, Achim, had passed away. He was not only a much cherished client for so many years, but more importantly, a wonderful friend with whom I spent many hours in discussing so many interesting things.
In the last few years we spent less time together because of his illness, but he was always in my mind for the gentle, kind and caring man that he was.
I shall miss him as he was a meaningful presence in my life.
My sincere condolences to all the family.

Ariane, Karsten and family...We are so very sad and sorry to hear of the passing of your great father. I see from where you get your great looks :) While there is nothing we can do now to change what has happened, we can remember his life and the wonderful spirit you called Dad, and carry that with us. I hope for you, as you navigate the next days and weeks and months to come, that those memories and stories of your dad help you over come your sadness and loss. The great ones are always the hardest to lose because they had such an impact on us and left us with so much. How wonderful for you though, really. From Marli and Erica and I, we are sorry for your loss, but grateful for your experience. Regrettably we will not be able to be with you in person on Friday, but we will be there in spirit. With love, us.
