    in memory of Rolf.

    13.30 this Friday, I received a sad news. my brother Rolf, was dead. Assuming he slipped and fell down the stairs and broke his neck. I write this here because I know he has many friends here. Also after the visit in the United States last summer.
    we have lost a good friend and knowledgeable hi-fi enthusiast.it is hoped that there is much good music where he is ne played over the equipment he always dreamed of.

    his brother. Runar (also longtime fi-fi enthusiast

    A very enthusiastic, friendly, and vocal member with many friends here... I was able to meet him once... the experience will remain with me and others who were as fortunate, I'm sure.

    Condolences and best regards,

    So very sorry to hear of your loss!
    Rolf was much beloved here & had many friends!
    We used to laugh and joke and have long conversations - he was quite a good guy.

    He will be much missed!
    RIP, dear Rolf.

    Rolf

    Runar,

    Sorry to hear this news. I spent a lot of time with Rolf during his visit to California and the USA. He very much enjoyed his time here, including the Lansing Heritage event and his stay at my home. Below is a picture of him by my front door. He is wearing the "I ♥ LA" hat I gave him for the person who came the farthest to the event. He got to meet Greg Timbers and drink many, many beers here, and our members Mark and Tony each took the time to show him around for a day. He had many good memories of these days.

    I want you to know he was well taken care of, and he was very happy during this time. I have many funny stories about Rolf, but now is a time for reflection and appreciation for his life. Maybe he will see the person he loved and missed the most now.

    We will toast our friend and your brother at the 2013 Lansing Heritage Awards at my place in June. I have one promise to him that I have to keep, so I will fulfill my pledge and post it in this thread when it is done.

    Doug
    Out.

    It is with much sadness that I read about Rolf. Though I never exchanged any conversations, I enjoyed reading his posts. They always served as a reminder of the year I spent living in Oslo, a panoramic country full of the friendliest of people.
    On a such a beautiful day full of sunshine and blue skies in the traditionally grey drizzle of the pacific northwest, I'm reminded of the impermanence of life. How we must celebrate each and every moment, for they are so fleeting and all we have.

    I wish you well on the next stage of your journey Rolf, I hope it is filled with as many wonders as this one.

    Redcoat.
