Dear Tante Mechthild, Chris, Tina and Ela,
I am sad with you about the death of your husband and your father, my mother's next younger brother and my “Onkel aus Amerika”.
Starting from my childhood I have admired him for his self-confidence and courage. I liked to listen when he talked about how things worked in “America”, his company, his differentiated comments e.g. about the $/DM exchange rate at that time. It was a pleasure to meet him and you, his hearty and open family, during...

DR. Chris and Family, Our sympathy and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time; your mother, you, Johanna, Mary Ann, and all your relatives will be in our prayers especially; what a wonderful father you were blessed with; love and prayers, Tom, Trish, Marita, Tommy and Mary Forr

Dear Tante Mechthild,

we were truly sad to hear about the death of Onkel Lutz. We still have our visit at your home in Dillsburg as well as your very kind hospitality in very good memories. We got to know Onkel Lutz as a very friendly and humorous man and we have best memories of him. We remember our astonishment to learn about the similarity between Lutz and his brother (our grandfather) Klaus in gesture, facial expression and in the way both of them spoke, despite the many years...

Liebe Tante Mechthild,
vorgestern habe ich von Onkel Lutz Tod erfahren und war traurig, dass nun auch der nächstältere Bruder unseres Vaters gestorben ist. Unser Vater hat viel und gern von seiner Familie, den Eltern und Geschwistern erzählt. Für mich ist das eine kostbare Erinnerung. Je älter unser Vater wurde, um so lebendiger wurden seine Erzählungen, die Kindheit und Jugend wurde ihm immer gegenwärtiger. Mit dem Tod seines Bruders geht wieder ein Teil dieser Welt unter. Ich wünsche...

I will always remember Lutz and Mishi as two people that came into my life at a very difficult time and showed me and my daughters only love, wisdom, and guidance. My children were small and they would take care of them after school until I got off work. I would hear all about the poppy seed bread they loved that Mishi would make, the onions in the back yard that they would make pretend soup and the books they would read. Lutz went with me to buy my car since he was so educated in so many...

To my American relatives of the Kahlenborn family,
I was very sad to hear about the death of my grandfather's brother. Although I haven't seen Lutz so often in my life I have the best memories of him. We know that he was very important for his younger brother Klaus and that their relationship was close despite of the big distance between Pennsylvania and Germany. I wish Tante Mechthild and her children Christoph, Martina and Manuela and her grandchildren all the best and that they stay...

Dear Chris and Family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. He and your family will be in our prayers. Marlene and Dave
