Yes, Lionism meant so much to Gunter.

We see in the photo Gunter is wearing our district governor pin right under his name tag. And actually Gunter did help in designing it; that we appreciated.

We were very glad to see he was so well taken care of in his last years by Veronica and the girls. A huge blessing for him.
