It has come to my attention that long-time member Rolf Kern has passed away. For those in the German to English and French to German communities, you have no doubt seen him around the term help section, and he has long been on the leaderboards for both pairs, http://www.proz.com/?sp=leaders_new , as well as having made many contributions in the forums. He will be missed. ▲ Collapse

Although I have never met Rolf personally, I respected and admired him for still being involved into KudoZ discussions despite of his high age of more than 80 years. Translators of his caliber will be missed in the future.

He was a very correct man, always polite and insisting on good behavior. Many constructive contributions.

I will miss Rolf's contributions to this forum.

Rolf Kerns Beiträge waren immer von einer immensen Hochachtung vor der Sprache getragen. Leider habe ich ihn nicht gekannt; geschätzt dagegen sehr.

I had this domain for a couple of years.
I dropped it off, like many other projects at that time.
I hope somebody takes it back and relaunch it.
Or maybe it is already in place and I am not aware of it. ▲ Collapse
