I worked with Wolf on many disc projects for about 15 years-Wolf was always one of the most upfront, honest, and nice guys who was always a pleasure to work with. He also cared about people and always took an interest in people and their lives-he will be missed

Wolf and I had a very special friendship. I cherish the memories of our travels together, his great sense of humour and passion for the music biz. It saddens me greatly to know that he's gone. My deepest sympathies go out to Mei & Jaredd who he would talk about endlessly during our trips to Europe together. You will never be forgotten and missed forever!

My name is Deborah...Wofgang asked me to go to his graduation with him....He pulled up to my house in his brother Carls mustang with flowers for me...He is very special to me and if anyone out there that knew him well he also was great with making things out of leather....We would shop in Gastown for leather and he taught me how to make sandals...We also won in disco contests if you can imagine that years ago....Missing someone close to your heart hurts so much that you just want to reach out and get them back...Alot of friends are nothing but the special ones are from God...I havent seen you in years but I will miss all the wonderful joy you brought to my life and for that Im so grateful...

I'll never forget you Wolf. You were so much fun to work with, but you were also my dear friend. I'm glad we got to stay in touch after our days at Warner Music, but it just never seems like enough, so little time...
I miss you and my heart goes out to your family.
We will all keep your memory alive and you will live in our hearts forever.
Much love...

I was shocked and saddened to learn the news. Wolfgang and I knew each other well during our years in the music business. My thoughts are with the entire Burandt family.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Wolf's passing. We knew eachother from his son Jaredd's preschool, and having had a past as a musician, found a common ground as adults too. Much love, prayers and support to Mei and Jaredd in this difficult time. I'm sure Wolfgang is smiling down at you from his new realm, keeping you safe.
