"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." (Oscar Wilde)
Manfred, you are one of the few people who took interest in me growing up and supported me in building my career. I have always valued your knowledge and your interest in my life and work, despite the years during which we lost contact. Growing up I saw you as a role model, a friend who was extremely generous, and full of stories - a multifaceted person with a rare, individual but actually caring character. Johan and I often spoke about you, sharing old stories and good memories.
I will miss you.
Sir Toby
