Diane and family,
I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. It is times like these that our words seem a little empty, but our hearts are full of caring thoughts for you and your family.
May Rolf live on in the hearts of all who had the pleasure to know him.
My deepest condolence to you all.

Heidi and family,
I was so sad to hear that Rolf had passed. My 87-year old dad just passed away in November, so I'm sure that he will be greeting Rolf with open arms. Kurt and I will always have the wonderful memories of joining you and Rolf on the tennis court for a spirited game of doubles. We were always telling our friends and relatives about the amazing man who was still playing tennis in his nineties. And the boys always enjoyed Rolf's warm greetings and his friendly 'growls'. Our hearts go out to you as you deal with the loss of someone so precious in life, and who knew how to live it. His memory will certainly live on...

With great love and admiration,
Julie, Kurt, Scott and Alex
