| Who loves ya, baby ![]() ![]() Current Rebreather/s: | Dare To Dream - In Memoriam Sven The day turned dark when I got word of Sven being lost at sea, and am devastated by the loss of one of our own. The emptyness we felt and shared all over again. Sven's enthusiasm for diving and our website, the things he believed in and dreamed of was inspiring. We lost an ardent member of the staff, full of ideas, and frequently the calm voice of reason in heated debates. He was a good man, with his heart in the right place, a good sense of humor, who dared to dream and was relentless in making those dreams come true. To those of you downunder, I hope you can find solace in the time Sven spend with you. You shared with him the freedom and the beauty of your countries, his passion and a life beyond even that boy' imagination, growing up behind the iron curtain. My sincere condolences to his family and friends, especially his wife and the team members whose risky attemps to save his life were in vain.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: In memorium: Sven Paepke. Sven, I was devastated when I stumbled onto this thread and can only say that you ever present smile, enthusiasm and verve for life will be greatly missed by all that knew you. To your loved ones... my deepest condolences. In the time I dived in Aus, some of my fondest memories were with you and a small group of others, chasing our dreams on the mad Frenchman’s charter. A life lived in the pursuit of a dream is a life worth living. God speed and love on your journey. Nick |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: In memorium: Sven Paepke. Very sad. My very first post to Rebreather World (just last week) was in introductions, and Sven was the first to respond with a welcome to the board. I hope I don't have that effect on all people who respond to my posts. Condolences to family & friends. russell helsley seattle, usa |
