Not sure what to say?

Dear Balbin, David and family, I was also shocked when I read of Othmar's passing. He was so lost without you Balbin. Now I know he was just trying to do all he could before passing to make things easier for you and David. He was a very interesting man and a very devoted husband. I know he shared the enjoyment of visiting family and looked forward to more trips. I'm positive he will be here in spirit to watch over all who hold him near and dear. I will sadly miss him.

Liebe Balbin, lieber David, der Tod von Othmar hat uns sehr betrübt und wir wünschen Euch für die kommende Zeit viel Kraft und Zuversicht. Wir werden Othmars unverkennlichen Sinn für Humor, sein Lachen und seine frohe Natur sehr vermissen.
Mit liebem Gruss Alexandra und Familie

To the family of Othmar, I was out of town for several days and just learned of the passing of Othmar. Although I only knew him for the last couple of years, our conversations were evidence of his devotion to his dear wife, Balbin. I am sorry that I was unable to pay my respects in person, but please accept my condelences and deepest sympathy.

Dear Balbin and family, I was shocked to here about your beloved Othmar. Balbin you always expressed to me what a wonderful man you married and from our breif talks I could tell how much he loved you and you him My deepest sympathy for your loss God bless you and your family

Othmar, I miss you. We first met in Canakale Turkey in 1989. You had a quiet and humble spirit. You were a father figure to us in the cement industry.

To Othmar's Family,
When I travel for FLSmidth (Fuller) people still ask about Othmar... everyone was important to him, and he treated us all fondly and respectfully. Now when people ask about him, my answer will be different, but we will still celebrate his life and his effect on all of us. God bless you all.

It was with sadness that I learned of the passing of Othmar. I had the privilege of travelling with him to far and exotic places. He was a fantastic companion story teller and a great teacher, always willing to provide unselfish advice both personal and professional. As it happens, time and distance took us apart but he was often in my thoughts. He always had good things to say about people specially his wife and his daughter with whom he is now, he missed her dearly. I remember how he talked...

Mrs. Buttiker & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Othmar. I first met Othmar
when I started at FLSmidth in 1988. I was a secretary in the Field Service Department and he was a Field Engineer.
He was always so pleasant and very nice to me. He always had nice things to say to all of the girls in the department. Memories are so precious and I am sure you and your family have many. Please accept my condolences.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Othmar..... he was a good man. I was a colleague of his at FLSmidth Inc (Fuller Company)and enjoyed having conversations with him. His outlook on life was very simple and easy. He never let anything rattle him. I will keep him in my memory and always think of his viewpoint about life when things get tuff. GOD BLESS YOU.
