You will be missed dear friend


It is with much grief and sorrow that we inform you that our former Executive Editor Wolfgang Becker, known to many of us as just Wolfy, passed away in his home yesterday evening of an apparent heart attack.

Wolfy's tireless efforts, ideas, and drive are responsible for much of the improvements made during his tenure (May 2006 - February 2007) at LivinginPeru.com. He did a spectacular job and we will forever be indebted to him.

Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Marcela, family, and friends during this trying time.

If you are in Peru and would like to pay your respects to a man who passionately worked to promote his adoptive country of Peru, his viewing will be held today and tomorrow (Apr. 21-21) at the Velatorio San Antonio de Padua, located at Av. San Felipe 571 in Jesus Maria.


May you rest in peace dear friend.

Dear Wolfy. Even before we met, you were writing about Peru, sharing information about this great country and when you decided to join us, LivinginPeru.com became what we all hoped for back then. Thank you for being a friend, a great colleague, your loyalty and for everything you've done for LivinginPeru.com. You will be missed – CK P.S. To those of you, who didn’t have the opportunity to meet with him, you can read his “masterpiece” - Living in Peru: My experience after 600 days in Lima

Dear Wolfy

We hope that you are resting in peace, far away from the stress and hazzle of our daily lives. May God or whoever is up there embrace you with love.

Thank you for being so transparent, straight forward, caring, undestanding, passionate for his work,for enjoying the small things of life and for the dedication and love for his Peruvian family. We can learn much from you and we would like to encourage our readers to read "My experience after 600 days in Lima".

Good trip

I met Wolfy at the Rotary meeting this past Thursday. So kind and said he wanted to attend meetings and in the future become a rotarian.
It is sad when somebody you have seen so healthy and eager to do so many things leaves us like this.
My sincere simpathy to his family.

We spend some great times working and partying hard together in Chicago, Frankfurt, Seattle, Hawaii, the Taunus and the Vogelsberg. So we did not talk much over the past year, I was always happy to receive the newsletter, knowing he was well. I miss him and extend my sympathy to Marcela who will miss him even more!

My dear special friend. Take the f.a.v.s.f.t.a.v.s.f. with you as well as my smileys to join. We met a long, very long time ago and there are no words to express my feelings. May the sun shine wherever you are and rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to Marcela and Wolfys familie. Love and Light yours - José (Joos)

Wolfy, Wolfy, Wolfy,

You have left us far too soon.  The memories I will hold close to my heart...our trip to Europe, lenghthy conversations not to mention my voice mails that drove you nuts.  And our road trip to California, it was nice that we both were able to share our hometowns and family with one another.  All the meals we shared.  How I will miss you in my life. 

My sincere heart felt sympathy goes out to Marcela whom I know he loved so much and his very graciious and kind family.

Peace Out,

Lisa

Wolfy,
I'm very sad you had to go.  You will be missed by all who knew you.  I'm glad you found the love in your life that we are all searching for.  I hear she is a wonderful, sweet, and beautiful lady.  I hope Marcela will find peace and cherish the time she had with you.  I also wish your family well, and in time they can enjoy their memories of you.
