oo7 Posted January 22, 2011 To the friends and family of Dieter, From what I knew of him, Dieter was a highly valued and influential staff member on our site as well as a great friend to many. His legacy will live forevermore within the hearts and minds of our community. We are blessed to have our dear friend Tom to comfort you in conveying our sympathies.

JimBee Posted January 22, 2011 Very, very sad news. I only knew Dieter from the Reviewers Academy, I believe we graduated at the same time. He was a helpful and friendly member, and I know he was a big help with C-P.com. He will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoryoCox Posted January 22, 2011 So young and taken so suddenly, it is terrible. Dieter, I know, was a cornerstone of this forum and was always around. Although I did not know him personally but I know he will be missed by all here and in real life. Sympathies to his family at this time, I can only imagine how much you will miss him. Rest in Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omicron Posted January 22, 2011 I personally didn't know him on the forums, but I have seen him around here. Seeing and knowing the dedication he has put forth towards the site and the support he has recieved, it is never the same when someone like that is no longer around. My condolences to friends and family. May he rest in peace. -Omi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derfel Cadarn Posted January 22, 2011 This is very tragic news and at such a young age! He was the first person to help me out when I first joined here, as I spent all my time on the pirate forum. He was a very friendly and helpful person and will be sadly missed. R.I.P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted January 22, 2011 I am loss for words... It sadden me to see myself and the rest to lose a great friend, who lives in our heart. Despite of the fact that I had never met him in real life, I had always held my utmost respect for him and commitment to strive his very best to make Eurobricks and Classic Pirates community to make it a much better and enjoyable place for all of us to be in. Even though he had departed, he shall and will always remain someone special in our hearts... Dieter, my friend, rest in peace... You will be missed...

Ras 74 Posted January 22, 2011 I had the opportunity to meet with Dieter in real life. Even though he wasn´t signed up for our next Event in Windsor, he told me that he will do all in his power to make it to that Event. I was looking so forward to meet with him there again. Dieter was a great guy, and came to touch so many persons around our planet, helping and guiding new and old members. Many with me on here saw Dieter as a good friend. He truley was what you are looking for in a friend. We are many that will never forget his work, efforts and help he gave without asking for anything in return. His passion was great for Eurobricks, and he dedicated a lot of hard work to make members enjoying the hobby and love Eurobricks just the way he did. It truley is a great loss for the all of us. To his family: I am so very sorry and sad for your loss and I hope it will be some confidence that he will be remembered by many. On here he had many friends and many with me loved and joyed having him around. My sincere condolences to you. He has been in my thoughts every waken hour since I heard about the tragic news. What ever happens, and where ever we will go from here, we will never forget him. To Dieter: You will be missed. See you later my friend! /Rickard (Sweden) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toastie Posted January 22, 2011 This is not about LEGO, not about being active in the community, not about what was accomplished for this community. I haven't had the chance to meet Dieter in person. What really, really hurts so much is the 27 years he had to make this world possibly spin the other way around. It is entirely wrong. He should have been able to try this for at least 100 years. He may have had the power ... 27 years. Dieter never dies, when we remember him. When we forget, he dies. We should not. So here is my take. Let us remember him, make him being with us, take his ideas as if he would be "there". Truly yours, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9thDragonfly Posted January 22, 2011 sometimes words just aren't enough; not even tears will do.

JopieK Posted January 22, 2011 It is extra sad if such a young people die. Too many 'important' AFOL's die too young I think. Familie, gecondoleerd met dit verlies, heel veel sterkte en het allerbeste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueandwhite Posted January 22, 2011 It's always sad to hear that another young AFOL has passed away. Like many others, I didn't know Dieter beyond these forums but his presence was certainly felt here. Losing somebody at such a young age is simply devastating. My thoughts go out to his family. R.I.P. Dieter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
