"Thank you" to Ingrid for a complete and nicely written translation of the obituary, and "thank you" to Helmut for his partial translation. I understand the challenges of translating a newspaper clipping like this.
Not only is the information very helpful in confirming some of my Great Grandfather's interests and his importance to the community, it also gave me a better undertsanding of his life.
I very much appreciate the translation, and thank you very much.
P.S. Perhaps one day soon I'll go to night school!
