A kind and generous soul, Helmut will be remembered for his unwavering work ethic, his devotion to his family, and his readiness to help others. He lived a life full of purpose, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Rest in peace, Helmut. Your legacy of love, service, and craftsmanship will never be forgotten.
