So many memories and so many emotions. We've known Horst for a little over 40 years and he was a part of our family for 34 of those years. He and Mama were companions and each found support, friendship and love in one another. They were the perfect travel companions and saw the world. Life is never without its' trials and tribulations and as many couples do, they had their trying times, but toughed it out. She is infinitely saddened by the loss of her companion and already struggles with the fact that he won't be there to tuck her in at night. Her heart is broken again.
I was privileged enough to work for Horst for over 10 years and both Matthew and Danielle grew up at Planar Optics. Matthew and Danielle had three grandfathers. One they never met, one that suffered from Parkinson's and one they knew as Opa Horst with whom they shared many trips, birthdays, parties and life's milestones. For me, I am grateful that I knew him and at the depth that I knew him. So many conversations. He will always be in my heart and a part of my being. I feel the void.
We all know that Horst was an incredibly hard worker. It gave him solace and purpose. I hope that he has found peace and that he and Wolfgang are paddling on still waters. Till we meet again - Lots of Love, Helmi and Denise
