RIP HOB

Thanks for all you business knowledge in making playmobil such a success.

Perhaps the management team could make a commemorative set of HOB and Hans.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Rip herr horst, and condolences to the brandstatter family.

I wonder what this means for PM in the longterm, and whether his successors will stick to his somewhat antiquated way of running the company in recent years.

Still, thanks for everything you've ever done for children worldwide.

The news of his passing made it to the press here.
I don't know about TV but it's on the newspapers...   :'(

Geobra's spokesperson said he died of a terrible but very short disease.

RIP Horst  :sadklicky:

I admire his insistence (mentioned in the PCC article) that the company manage without him while he went to Florida, rather than micromanaging. It was wise to prepare them to ''keep the ship sailing'' when he was no longer able to do so.
