in memory of Rolf.

Rolf was one of my Buddies here. This is very sad news.

I'm sorry to hear this news, my condolences to you and the family. We all lost a brother but at least some of us had the pleasure of meeting him in person last year. He had a great time here and I had the pleasure of showing him a afternoon and evening at the california coast. I know he will get the a moment at this years event and a personal moment in all of our hearts as they go out to you and the family. RIP ROLF

I hate to hear this, I think I remember Rolf saying he was planning a trip to Colorado this year and was looking to rent an RV.

I remembered a pic of Grumpy's from last year's JBL gathering - Rolf with a Negra Modelo, a dark beer I buy now and then.

Thank you all for the kind words.
The funeral will be Tuesday 14th May. Me and his daughter Helene, has promised to play Ocean Gipsy of renaissance and an old Irish folk song, Bonnie Portmore. Sung by Lorenna mckennıt. Music was a big part of his life, so I hope this will be a beautiful end of his life. Rolf has told us that at his death, he wanted to be cremated.
Thank you for all you have given.

Rolf gave me his grandfather's smoking jacket as a token of gratitude when he came to the US last September. When I took him to the Whale and Ale in San Pedro, he flirted with the waitress to the point where I had to calm him down a bit. He took a picture of Sally and me at the pub, since she wouldn't take one with him. (Not sure where the picture got to.) At the same time, he asked if someday I'd take a picture in the pub with the smoking jacket on, and I said I would. So today was the day. Unfortunately, Sally was sick, so it's just me.

Anyway...

Cheers, Rolf!

[grumpy]

Cheers indeed.

Runar, so very sorry to hear of this news. My condolences to you and your family.

I also met Rolf at last year's event, he was very inquisitive and fun to be around. He had a genuine admiration for the people and gear, and was very jovial and friendly with all of us. I was so looking forward to seeing him again in the future. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Rest in peace Rolf, and may your music play on on JBL's.

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family.

Runar, it is a big shock to hear this.

I had the pleasure to meet Rolf and his wife years ago here in Germany. He did pick up his dream speakers (JBL 4343). It was a wonderful time when I met them both.
My condolences to you and your family.
