Unfortunately, we have to announce the death of our senior member Tilo Rismondo, who died a few days ago at the age of 78 years. Mr. Rismondo became a member of the BPP in 1990 in the course of the reunification and has since then worked with great passion and expertise in the areas “Saxony” and “Austria”. A sudden serious illness forced him to give up his expertizing activities in February 2017. He was also unable to attend this year’s general meeting. We would like to thank Tilo Rismondo for 27 years of successful work in the BPP, as an expert and valued colleague, and we will honour his memory. Our sympathy goes out to his wife and family.
