What sad news! Incomprehensible…
Unfortunately, I only got to know Stefan personally briefly. As part of a ramp tour in Hamburg. That was 2012 and I didn't know him or nAs before. At the end of the event, Stefan, who was noticeably cheerful and in a good mood, gave me a card with the inviting note: “You are welcome to upload your pictures here, I would be happy…”
To my great regret, I never had the opportunity to meet him in person in the years that followed. Nevertheless, Stefan and I were in close written communication (especially in my early days as nAs DB editor). And yes, I certainly assumed that we would run into each other again at some point. It is a painful realization that this opportunity will no longer arise.
My deepest condolences go out to Stefan's family and close friends, who, like all of us, have lost a precious person. We can only hope that netAirspace continues to make good progress. It would certainly be in Stefan's mind.
RIP Stefan!

I always thought that Stefan originated from Hamburg, but it was during a meeting at FRA that we found out that he grew up the city of Espelkamp in Eastern Westphalia, a mere 60 klicks west of my home town.
And having been to Espelkamp myself I fully can understand that Stefan moved away from there looking for Big City Life, and The World.
(Espelkamp´s number of inhabitants "exploded" (no pun intended) to more than ten-fold after the Second World War, when a former grenade manufacturing site was converted into a refugee camp, gradually turning into permanent housing over the next decades. One big chunk of new arrivals were people of German descent relocating from the Soviet Union (especially from Kazakhstan SSR) in the 1970´s.)

Alt-Espelkamp is where the funeral took place, yesterday, the 10th of May.
