I knew Helmut at Mynderse and got to know him more just in the last couple years. Nice guy. My sympathies to his family.
I am just seeing this now and it is quite a shock. I knew him growing up and he rode our bus. He was such a shy boy and so sweet. His picture made me smile. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
