Subject: Reinhard, the elecronic guru of the 7-forum passed away Author: shogun (moderator) : member since March, 2004 : 12550 posts Posted on: 2007-08-20 11:36:13

yesterday. His nickname on the German Forum was Rottaler2. He was a wonderful person and helped many people with his excellent knowledge. Without him we would for example not have our electronic troubleshooting manuals and many other things.
I was happy to meet him on August 12 this month in his hometown Eggenfelden near Munich, where he arranged for the monthly E32 meeting. His wife always made the cakes for all members.
After that meeting I stayed at his home and in the evening he invited me to a birthday party of one of his grandchilds.

Reinhard passed away yesterday of a heart attack.

I still cannot believe it.


PS to paparon and Greyshadow:

He wanted to finish the iluminated gear shifter panels for you and for some people in Japan within this week. I have to assume that this will never be finished. So I cannot send them to you.
I already gave him the money when I met him for total 5 pieces of EURO 48 each.
I will not ask his wife to return the money to me. She has 10 children and has not much money and on 7-forum they ask for donations for his family.
Here a pic of the last meeting, Reinhard (2nd from left and I am the 4th one next to him with the jacket)


Donations can be made to the webmaster of the 7-forum in Germany, who will arange for flowers etc. for the funeral and will pass on to his widow the rest of the donations
code word: "Rottaler 2"
