Many times Detlef and I layed chess and laughed and egged each other on in competition, he was an accomplished chess player and never without another story of his worldly travels and experiences which spanned the globe quite literally. He longed to be home with his sons and family and each and every year would say next year we go, however, fate did not provide that flight for a number of reasons and now his flight home was up above it all.. Rest in peace dear friend.
