Juergen was a genuinely decent person. Along with many others, I will
miss him dearly. His album "Dark November" was compiled when he was
going through some health issues back around 2000. As I listen to it
one could tell that Juergen was an optimist. I just hope that there
will be some avenue that opens up that lets us share our experiences
with Juergen, with his children when they get older. His children
knew a different side of Juergen than we did. They need to know what
a fine person he was to every one and the ways he touched many of us.
As great of a father as he was, he far exceeded what they even knew.
I hope there is a way to let them know that their dad was wonderful
beyond what they could learn in the short time he was with them. Many
of us knew Juergen far longer than his kids did. That is so very sad.
They need to know that their dad was held in the highest regard by a
great many people.
Peace.
