In memorium: Sven Paepke.

York · 28th October 2007, 12:15

just saw this thread - I never met Sven, but in his posts he always came across as competent, sincere and enthusiatic. Condolences to all grieving for the loss.

Words cannot begin to describe how I felt when I heard yesterday that we had lost another member of the staff team and I had lost another friend.

Sven was always wiling to give up his time to help the community, he led the way with getting the blogs done and we were soon to launch some new features which he had been bugging me about for ages!

He was always passionate about doing the right thing and I used to value his thoughts on how things should be done.

I will miss you Sven - you are in my prayers and I know you have gone to a better place.

Sad news.

It's always sad to hear of the loss of one of our own. While I did not know Sven personally, I'm sure he will me sorely missed by family and friends who loved him. I extend my deepest sympathies to those close to him during this most difficult time.

Sorry for your loss. I've lost too many friends over the years to diving. The pain does not ease with time. And, each time another one dies it pulls up every emotion one has on the previous ones. Another sad day to add to the record.

Godspeed.

So very sad to hear of the loss of a true gentleman who will be sadly missed. Thoughts and prayers are with those who knew and loved him. Stay 2x21 forever now, Sven.
