I have flown many Region 3 Contests with Udo and always enjoyed his
stories.
His wife Linda crewed with at every contest and truly enjoyed crewing.
I remember both
of them at the 2006 Region 3 Contest in Glens Falls, NY, where I was
the CD. The day we
got "tthrown" out of the airport Udo and Linda was quoted in the
newspaper (with their photo on the front page) as saying we will never
be back to
Glens Falls where they treat soaring pilots like that. Interestingly
Udo was the only one to
complete the task that day.

A great guy that truly will be missed.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that Udo Rumpf passed
away last night. He had been battling cancer for the last few years
and fought hard to beat it. Unfortunately, various treatments were not
successful. I will let you know about funeral arrangements in the next
day or so.

A wonderful gentleman has left us.

Very sad news. Udo always had a smile and a story.
