It is truly distressing to hear this news! The first time I took my husband to Frankfurt, this is of course where we went to have dinner. It was so much fun having Gerd go back and forth from German with my husband and English for me. Boy was my husband PO'd for me leaking that he spoke fluent German. This was also the place my husband and I took our son on his first time to Germany. He loved it too. Gerd was one of a kind for sure. He will be surely missed. To his family from PanAm, we loved you. May he be resting in peace.
