Not sure what to say?

An intense, yet loving man. Artist advocate, activist and a prolific artist. Im fortunate to have collaborated with him in Hartford, Connecticut back in the 1970s.
The universe is richer with him back.

I am sorry to hear of Sigfried's passing. He will be missed. He was one of myfavorite professors at Tufts ( a few years ago).

I am so sadden to learn of Siegfried's passing and so sorry for our collective loss. We bonded while I was a photography student at SMFA/Tufts (1979) and we once taught side-by-side at Tufts in 1982. My first excursion to the enchanted New Mexico was with Siegfried as our photographic tour leader for 12 art students. He clearly loved the landscape and culture so well. On subsequent trips to NM, he introduced me to some of his students at both the American Indian School and the SFCC.

Siegfried was inspirational. He encouraged and challenged me as a student at Tufts. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man.

My condolences. I have lost a friend, but we all have lost an inspiring teacher and an advocate. I met Siegfried in a temporary building on the SFCC college campus. In a temporary building because Siegfried was building the visual arts complex which should stand in his memory. His guiding me and encouragement will not be forgotten, by me, by other students and by our community

Rest my friend.
I miss you.
I love you.

So so sad to hear about Siegfried's passing. And so grateful at the same time that I was able to spend time with him the last 3 times I went to Santa Fe, more than 30 years after having had the chance to follow photo classes with him at Tufts. He was an amazing human being and teacher and friend.
Sincere condolences to Max who was born while I was at Tufts and to the whole family. You were lucky to have him in your life. Love and light to all.
Would love to discuss with family...

Deepest Condolences Max, Stephanie and Erika. Siegfried was very special to my mum and I too have him in very good memories. I was really shocked to hear he passed away. With our thoughts we are with you and wish you the strongs you need. Love Gabie Gothe ( Hartmann ), Klaus Hartmann and family ( Germany )

Siegfried was a good friend, a good neighbor, and an inspiring artists. I will miss him.
