Heard this today here in Kuala Lumpur, his hometown. Very sad here and heart felt sympathy for his wife and children. He was full of life.

Got the e-mail

from Ulysse Nardin Le Locle about the same time. Wanted to call you but noticed that you knew already. Have no words right now. Only remember his last chat with me: About watches and geriatric sky-diving! His motto was : "Live Life!"; seen here sky-diving...  

Very sad news, so sorry to hear it. [nt]

To think that he was still looked so...

I was deeply deeply saddened by his passing. It came as a real shock to my best friend Nic and I when we received the sms by Bernard. We decided to make a video tribute for Rolf. It was really difficult.

My deepest condolences to his family [nt]
