Deepest condolences go out to the entire Mayer family. Stefan and I have been friends ever since his arrival into this country. We spent many hours together at the old Liederkranz, German American Club and the Donauschwaben. He often spoke about my family living next door to his in Palanka. It is so sad to lose a fellow Landsmann (Donauschwab). Rest In Peace Alter Freund.
