I first met Lothar at Omaha University. We were drafted into the Army at the same time. After Vietnam, we met again at Fort Riley, Kansas where we roomed together. We kept in contact over the years through our jobs. Great memories of Lothar as an up beat, fun loving guy. Going to miss him.

Lothar worked on my campaigns and became a good friend. His dedication to public service meant many citizens received help when they needed it. Great sense of humor and a really nice guy. Mike

My condolences to his loved ones. Not sure when we first met in school, maybe Columbian or Norris, but we graduated the CHS class of 1964. I remember he worked at Shaver's on 40th for a while. Never crossed paths again.

I am so sorry for your loss. I fondly remember Lothar from Omaha Central High School. I graduated in 1962--just had my 50th reunion.
