Karin, Rolf’s daughter and I have been friends for quite some time. I really only met her father briefly at dinner at Karin’s home. Rolf’s love of music was immediately apparent as was his close relationship with Delores. My condolences to Rolf’s family. - Posted by: Kelly Gorze (Friend of family) on: Sep 11, 2018

Onkel Rolf u Tante Lore were part of my young childhood. I loved them & their children, especially Ralph with whom I was closest in age. Fond memories of “family” times... always loving & full of laughter. Riding a big boy’s bike for the 1st time, summer beach trips, singing Que Sera Sera in the basement are just some... Heartfelt condolences to all from Margie u Doris & families❤️ - Posted by: Margaret Harris (Margie Ranacher) (Family friend) on: Sep 08, 2018
