Gunter was the District Governor when I first joined Lions. He inducted me in a very special ceremony which included candles and a blindfold symbolizing bringing light to the darkness and the blind. He always remembered that whenever we met. Gunter gave his all to Lions and was well respected. I will miss him and his dedication. Rest well my friend. - Posted by: Lion Chris Barnard (Fellow Lion) on: Aug 02, 2025
