My love & deep condolences to Christof's family, and his beloved wife Anneliese. They both became my dear friends from the time Chris & I served on the Board of our condo complex. Anneliese & I had met earlier through our mutual love of Scrabble, in which she & my sister Amy shared many hard-fought tournaments. i began joining Christof & Anneliese for fun social times after each Board meeting. It was so easy being in the same condo building. We didn't need a designated driver!

We discovered that we knew many of the same Winnipeg architects & artists, over the years, & shared many experiences from the artistic community.

Christof was writing a wonderful Sci-fi novel that he invited me to read & discuss w him. It was great fun to do that until his eye-sight & hearing deserted hI'm. That was so disappointing & frustrating for him to have to become unable to pursue his writing. & sharing. With his European degrees in architecture & engineering, he held a wealth of knowledge to contribute to the Condo Board's planning for structural improvements & maintenance of the structure. He had been the architect of a same-era building like ours, located also in Osborne Village. He understood & could advise on how new replacements & repairs should be chosen to fit with our 1970s structure. When we were remodeling the lobby, he initiated installing an automatic door that has so well-served the aging population of the building.

Christof was a gem, a very gifted & special persass coues & friends like me bon Voyage, Chris!
