I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Rolf many years ago at Marshall. I can see Rolf's very beautiful smile and dimple to boot. He was a very nice man and will be missed.
I know it must be hard, but stay as strong as possible for the children. They need you so much right now. May God bless you and your family at this very saddened time, and give you strength to make it through the days ahead.

Rolf had a special gift to make the people around him comfortable. He could do this with a smile, a kind word or a timely comment or joke to make you feel relaxed. It was my pleasure to meet and work with Rolf.
To the family please find comfort in knowing Rolf has no worries or fears any longer. He has found peace.

Rolf was almost never seem with out a smile at work! If you were next to him he always made you smile in return. There are two things for sure....1. The world is a better place for many people because of Rolf and 2. The world is short of one of the "good guys"! We'll miss you Rolf!!!
