Getting confused messages about Rolf Richter having been killed last night in an auto wreck in Germany.
 
Confirmation or refutation required, please.

Don't mean to offend, but three UNNAMED sources is not a confirmation.

I didn't say it was confirmed. I said LSOL has confirmed it.

One version has him hitting a trailer rig on the autobahn and dying in the resultant wreck...
Translation - 'About 10:00 PM German time, on Friday evening (9/25), Rolf Richter was driving on the autobahn and was involved in a traffic collision with a large tractor trailer rig. He was killed in this accident.'

If true, very sad.   His daughter also died in a traffic accident, after being hit by a car on her way to school a few years back.

Dear All,
 
Please see this post that is posted on the LGB Family Forum by David Buffington.

Re: Rolf Richter

Dear LGB Friends,

We have received confirmation from a family attorney that Rolf Richter has died.

The details remain unclear, but as noted here earlier, preliminary reports are
that his death occurred in a traffic accident.

For a family that has suffered many tragedies in the past few years, this is a
horrible blow, and I know I will have the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Yours,
Dave
 
 
Sad, very sad. My condolences to Wolfgang and his family.

VERY sorry to hear this sad news! I had frequent contact with Rolf back when I worked with Greenberg Publishing Company. I, too, would like to express my sincere condolences to Wolfgang and the entire Richter family.
Allan
