Und bis wir uns wiedersehen, halte Gott dich fest in seiner Hand. Irischer Segenswunsch Die grosse Anteilnahme beim Abschied von Franz Bricker-Imholz hat uns tief berührt. Von ganzem Herzen danken wir allen, die meinen Franz, unseren Dädi, Schwiegervater, Grossdädi und Urgrossdädi in seinem langen Leben begleitet haben, ihm in Freundschaft und Liebe begegnet sind. Insbesondere danken wir für die schönen Momente, interessanten Gespräche und die unzähligen Briefkontakte, die Franz stets sehr viel bedeuteten sowie die Unterstützung während seines letzten Lebensstages. Herzlichen Dank für die äusserst wertschätzenden und tröstenden Worte sowie für die persönliche Gestaltung des Abschiedsgottesdienstes. Die vielen Spenden an die Kapellstiftung Rigi-Klösterli, das Benediktinerinnenkloster Sankt Lazarus Seedorf sowie weitere wohltätige Institutionen und Blumen sind uns Zeichen der Verbundenheit. Goldau, im Mai 2026
