Rest in peace dear friend and mentor Dr. Gerhard Meier.

I am very grateful to have met such a warm and special person. I have a lot of wonderful memories in me. I remember many beautiful moments, good long conversations. The time with him was always something special and valuable. I learned a lot from Him and took it with me for my life. For me, Gerhard was always a good person.
