Necrology

Man sieht die Sonne langsam untergehen und erschrickt doch, wenn es plötzlich dunkel wird. Franz Kafka.

Wir trauern um Hans Näf. Unser lieber Hans – Partner, Vater, Schwiegervater, Grossvater, Urgrossvater und Freund – ist nach einem langen und erfüllten Leben friedlich eingeschlafen. Wir vermissen ihn sehr.

When can I say goodbye to them?
