Subject: Mr Frick passes away

I am very sad to let you know that Monday evening, April 14, 2008 at 8:45pm in Zurich, Werner Fritz Groebli exited through the curtain of this world's stage, releasing the bonds of life and bound for a more glorious venue and to be reunited with his loving wife, Yvonne.

No specific arrangements have been made, as yet. Updates will be sent as soon as possible.

Thanks for letting us know. That's sad. I remember seeing him in the 70s.

Me, too. I didn't think he was even still alive ('til Monday).
