We have received the sad news from Braunfels that Gunter Jakob has passed away. His funeral was held privately for family, but they plan to organise a memorial service at a later date. We will keep you updated as we learn more. We are sending a card to Silvia Jakob, Gunter’s widow. An obituary, written by Michael Reitz, the President of the Braunfels Partnerschaft, is given below.
Additionally, we regret to inform you that Viviane Selfa, the lead from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, has also passed away after a long illness. I have sent our condolences to Comité Des Jumelages on behalf of the NTTA.
