From Rolf Stokburger: Wolfgang was a great person and fought until the end. Now he is at peace.


From Jim Zachary: I thoroughly enjoyed Wolfgang. He was a warmhearted friendly person. I often tell a story about meeting him for the first time and asking what he would like to be called. He said, “Call me WOLFIE." A very Bavarian (as opposed to Prussian) answer. Always had bottles of bubbly in the fridge.


From Brian Terry: So very sorry to hear about Wolfgang - he was a much respected founding member of the European Vendor Leading Group and someone I worked closely with in both London and Germany.
 
From George Keenan: I really got a kick out of UFT game and his mixed metaphors going from German to English or vice a versa. Great sense of humor. Sad news.
