Otto Hausknecht

Today, at the annual reunion of Euskirchen Plant Start-up Managers, we all were very sorry to hear that Otto has passed away.

We believe that one of his dreams was to become an architect. At the Euskirchen Plant his influence and persistence were instrumental to the creation of an exceptionally designed plant. The resulting workplaces were unique in 1974 and still are, inspite of many waves of different management cultures.

But more important than his attention to good design...

Dear Cathy,
I am very sorry to have heard that Otto passed away. As a member of the first group of the Euskirchen Plant and the team that was in Cape Girardeau, I personally do owe a lot to Otto, who took special care of me. We had a great time together. One more time I want to say Thank You to him. I also wish you and your family all the best and send you Hildegards (my wife) and my sincerest condolences.

Dear Cathy,
This is to send our sincerest condolences on the loss your husband, father and grandfather on behalf of the whole Baby Care Site in Euskirchen, Germany to you and your family.

We wish you all strengths God may...

Dear Cathy and family,
I am so sorry to have heard the passing of Otto today from my daughter Saadia. I had many happy, good memories of Otto back in the 80s and 90s celebrating family events in Las Vegas at Chuck and Connie's home and with Mark, Gigi, Peter, and celebrating Susan's Wedding in Palo Alto. May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Debbie Black

I first met Otto in 1974, when I came on board with the Euskirchen, Germany plant project. My colleagues and I, under Otto's leadership, were a coherent group of engineers and managers. Otto understood that each member of his team was on a learning curve and he gave us guidance and freedom to develop our skills. On a very personal note, Otto was responsible for authorizing my return to the USA as an employee of The Procter & Gamble Company. For this, I will always be grateful. On behalf of my...

Otto was our boss in Euskirchen, Germany. He taught us well that kindness and gentleness go well together with effectiveness as a manager. He was a role model for many of us younger ones. Thank you, Otto.

Otto was one of the kindest people I've ever known. He was a true gentleman and was always smiling. He brought light to my world every time I saw him. Please accept my sympathy in his passing. He will surely be missed.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in God's promises. 1 Thess. 4:13

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Please find solace in the promise at John 6:40 which gives us hope in these difficult times.
