Heiner Meldner

We had an enjoyable time as students of Georg Süßmann at University of Frankfurt. He already then excelled in computing (on the ZUSE II) at univ. Mainz, the last electronic valve machine). In his time at San Siego, we had a shoort comparative sailing to test sail shapes. We felt to be friends and I miss him. He was very much cheering us up, enthusiastic on his wide oeuvre of topics

Worked briefly with Heiner on US 49, the 12 meter that was the St Francis challenge in Fremantle. One of the brightest people I ever worked with.

Heiner was a good friend and enjoyed our time working together at LLNL. May he rest in peace.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family of Heiner Meldner during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. Psalm 116:15

Heiner was a great man. Maybe the most important lesson he passed to me was to never allow others to define your abilities. Only that which has been proven to be impossible is beyond your reach. If it is possible, it is. Thus, you should live your life in relentless pursuit of your goals and what may be possible. He did exactly that. We should all be so lucky, or wise. I'll miss you, Heiner. More than you could know. We all will. But, your memory and legacy will live on within...
