It was with deep sorrow when i learned of Guenther's passing, after returning from a trip to Germany. Guenther was a very good friend and model-train enthusiast and buddy. His 'little Germany' train layout was Winnipeg's largest and most detailed. We spent many hours together on his computer which he used to create hundreds of cross-word puzzles for his friends.
