I worked with Rolf at Adolph's Rest in Park City - what a great guy. I suppose that is what everyone pretty much says about Rolf. That genuine smile and love for life - he will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family and his assortment of friends everywhere. Though I am miles away this evening, my thoughts are with everyone in Utah tonight. Best Wishes to all.
