Not sure what to say?

We were neighbors and friends of Guenter (Glen) for more than ten years and found him and Joanie to be delightful people. I regret that I had not seen them in many years. Our best wishes to the family

I remember Glen from 1966 when I moved to Flint, Michigan. He lived in my apartment building with his wife Joanie and his new baby. He was a highly skilled German watchmaker who specialized in Rolex. A US Astronaut was a loyal customer who sent his Rolex to him regularly for his detailed overhaul. Glenn was a very proud German watchmaker who escaped WW2 Germany and started a new life in the USA. A very kind man and very loving family man. I never forgot him after all those years. It was nice...

I was a loyal friend and customer to Gunther. We talked often about watches and his life. He signed a watch that I bought off of him and the serial number is #0001. I will cherish this watch forever and will pass it on to my family after I am gone. Its an honor to own it with his name on it.

Dear Beholz family,
I am sorry for your loss. I am a high school art teacher who grew up in Flint, and shop frequently at Fratz' consignment shop in Fenton. I stumbled upon several boxes with clock parts and an address label on one. I don't know much about clocks or watches but I teach Metals and some advanced art classes, so I was so excited to sort through and purchase most of the small parts and glass. I hope this makes you happy to know that I plan on using these in my classes. I'm...

I was so thankful to find Guenter 5 years ago when I tried to find someone who could clean and fix antique picket watches! Over the years our family has taken 4 of them to him, as well as a tiny mantle watch (pocket watch size) and a tiny pendant watch, all belonging to our great grand-parents and grandparents. He did a wonderful job on all of them. I very much enjoyed talking with him about Germany and life in general at his shop and in the community whenever we would run into each other. ...

Guenter was the consummate gentlemen, husband, father and watch repairman. He tried hard to make each customer feel better when they left his store than before they entered. He deliberately always promoted me one rank and called me General. He just fixed my watch one month ago. I would much rather have a broken watch and have him alive. He is now with his beloved wife Joan forever. Reeny was an outstanding partner in the business. Guenther was so proud to be promoted to Lieutenant with the...
