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.

I have been dreading this report for many months. *I never met Udo,
but we corresponded via email on a number of subjects, all dealing
with glider performance improvement of course.

God Speed Udo.

So sorry to hear this. Udo was a Guru and great source of knowledge
to those of us with Schreder sailplanes, always helpful with advice
from his extensive experiences modifiying and tuning up his own HP-18.

Kindest regards Udo.

Condolences to his family and friends. Udo was always a source of
inspiration for me. His knowledge, skill and gentle manner will be
missed.
