Even though Rolf was my cousin, we never had the opportunity to meet. After reading these tributes and memories, I feel that I got to know my cousin and his passing is so very sad. This makes you realize how important and swift life is. I am so sad for your loss.

Rolf…. I still imagine you in the hallway at work – smiling, joking, and taking care of us. Thanks for bringing me CD’s for an event and giving me a copy of one CD I liked – I will treasure. Conversations about your #1 priority – your son Drake. You have left us too soon so I pray your son and family find comfort in memories and know how special you are and will be so missed.

Rolf, what an INCREDIBLE man. I remember when you arrived at Weyerhaeuser, all of the girls swooned & wondered who the new guy was. You always had a smile on your face & a twinkle in your eye. Thanks for being a friend & helping me move from my apt & for all of your incredible AV help over the years. There is no one like you & I know your son will follow your footsteps, Love You Dude!!

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Rolf's passing. His laid back demeanor made him all the more easy to like. He was a great and passionate person who will be missed by many.

November 18, 2011

I am thankful for the opportunity to know you, Rolf. Your kindness had no boundaries. I am going to miss sharing stories about our teen boys. It was always fun to hear what Drake was up to and see your eyes sparkle when you spoke of him. You will be missed my friend ~ Until we meet again.

Yes dear, your tie is OK.

November 18, 2011

Rolf, you were the guy who rode into town in a white hat and saved the day, the good guy who smiled confidently and said you’d take care of it. You stood by your word. When you were around, we were never worried about a glitch or problem. You got it done. You made us smile. You were the person who everyone trusted and everybody liked. You are missed already, more than we can ever describe.

November 18, 2011

Rolf was the best kind of employee and friend. Always available, always willing to do whatever it would take to get the job done even if it wasn't his job. It was my honor to have known him for all of his years at Weyerhaeuser. He will be missed.

November 18, 2011

My Dear Friend, Rolf. You will forever be missed! Our friendship and memories will always be kept close to my heart. Your passion for Drake brightly shined in everything you did and he will carry that forward.
May God's love surround you and comfort your family.
~Love Always from your friend

Rolf was such an unassuming individual, but always there to be relied upon. So sad to know that he is no longer with us. His contribution will be missed.

November 18, 2011

Rolf was the best! So many great times, So many laughs. That funny smirk on your face will always be in my memory. So sad to see you go Bro! You and Drake will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for all the support over the years. I will miss you

November 18, 2011

I keep expecting to see your smiling face coming around the corner. You always made me laugh. Our adventures on board trips were many. And I am forever grateful for you kindness...like staying behind to help me when you could of gone on a tour. You made work a joy. Loved hearing your Drake stories. What a lucky young man to of had you as his dad. You will always be missed.

November 18, 2011

I wonder how many of our conversations started with, “Hey Rolf, how do I ….?” Countless! But you always found the answer. The most amazing thing was how you knew what we needed before we even asked. We ALL noticed the sparkle in your eyes when Drake’s name was mentioned. To a wonderful friend and valued team member - I am so fortunate to have known you. I will always miss you.

November 17, 2011

I remember when Rolf first came to Weyerhaeuser long ago. He was quite a dashing, handsome young man! I enjoyed working with him through the years on many projects. There was no one more conscientious and concerned that everything would go smoothly. What I remember most is how much he absolutely adored his son. We will miss him very much. His love remains.

E-mail from Ty Harker:
Hi Aunt Joyce. I'm really sorry to hear about cousin Rolf. I remember him being so nice at the Thanksgiving dinner and talking to me about my Dad and telling me to ask him to get ahold of him. I also remember thinking he had a very good way with his son. A kindness and patience I hope I can convey to my own children some day. Please pass on my condolences to Lisa and Kathy.

November 17, 2011

My first memory of Rolf was at CCB. He was so helpful and friendly and I knew we could count on him to solve all our technical problems. I remember him being so excited about being a dad. Here we are 12 years later, in addition to still being helpful and friendly, he turned out to be a great father to Drake. I will miss you Rolf!

November 17, 2011

Rolf, one of the things I miss most about Weyerhaeuser is working with you on various company forums and meetings.
Your sense of humor and the way you handled high pressure with a serious attitude and a grin will be missed.
I'm glad I had the honor of knowing you.

November 17, 2011

Rolf was such a kind person, good friend, and wonderful dad. I remember hiring him many years ago and working together through countless events. He was always ready to help in any way he could and always brought a smile with him everywhere he went. Miss you, Rolf

November 17, 2011

Rolf's eyes would twinkle and face light-up when he talked about his son. He was always so plesant and helpful. I would breathe a sigh-of-relief when Rolf was working a meeting, as that meant all would go smoothly. He was always so plesant and helpful. We will miss him.

November 17, 2011

Rolf, Rolf, Rolf.......so many years covering my back; somehow magically behind the scenes fixing it ALL. You have been a wonder to me....you did it all and expected nothing in return.....a super proud dad and a good friend. Love you and miss you

November 17, 2011

Dear Rolf, I'll always remember fondly you taking care of my shortcomings on computer issues and catching me when I double-booked meeting rooms - I'm sure you were shaking your head sometimes! More importantly I remember the pride you felt when talking about Drake and your mom. You were such an asset to Weyerhaeuser and the senior team and a wonderful son and father.You will be missed.

November 17, 2011

Rolf, I am saddened by your death. I wish now that I had told you what I will write here. I took for granted that you knew and now I will be sure Drake knows. You were reliable and trustworthy. You did what you said and offered unconditional support to each task. I asked for help so many times, and always you were there. You anticipated what I might need. You were more than friend.

November 17, 2011

Rolf was a quiet and reliable professional who went about his work with little fanfare. He was an icon and very well liked and regarded. Thanks Roflf for supporting many of the presentations and events I needed your help on. You are a true professional and beloved associate.

November 17, 2011

So sorry to hear this news. Rolf was one of those people who all of us came to depend upon and yet we never let him know how much we appreciated his support. His quiet, steady demeanor and ability to solve our technical issues in an unflappable way were special. I had a chance to get to know Rolf a bit on our board travels. Hard to believe he is now gone, but we will remember him fondly

November 16, 2011

Rolf was always a "ready and available" guy. Whenever I was in crisis about technology - he was my go-to person. What a loss to all of us at Weyerhaeuser. My favorite memory was when Drake was up on the 5th floor earlier this year and he wanted to show me his latest hip hop moves. He was great and Rolf's love and pride in his son was very evident. We will miss him.

November 16, 2011

We will miss you, but your smile will live with us forever. Thanks for being part of our lives.

November 16, 2011

I will miss your face at my desk with that sly smile as you tell me I have booked my meeting over top someone else's meeting...after I go pale and begin to sweat, I realize you were joking...funny man. I will miss hearing about all of Drake's adventures, running track and his girlfriends! Most of all...I miss you.
Love you always

November 16, 2011

I worked with Rolf for the past six years. I will always remember how eager he always was to share any news about Drake to his co-workers. He LOVED his son very much and it showed.

I will miss him.

November 16, 2011

Rolf, I am truly going to miss you. Thank you for being such a great guy. I was with Beverly when Drake showed us his hip hop moves, and it will be my favorite memory too. It was awesome. Keep on dancing, kiddo.

The two of us are together tonight and reminiscing about you Rolf. Mom misses your big bear hugs and (jinx) we both just mentioned your sly grin! Oh how excited you were when you found out that you would be a Dad. :-) Mom just told me a story that i never knew...that you rescued a woman in the Fred Meyer parking lot who had locked her baby inside her car by using a coat hanger!

You are loved, you are missed, and you are cherished...
Kath & Mom

Rolf and Take your Child to Work Day

April 11, 2012

The last time I saw Rolf was in the fitness center with his son, Drake during Take your child to work day. We were able to catch up and he was enjoying the day with his son at work. I think of Rolf often and it reminds me to say " I love you" to my family every day - no matter how hectic things get.

December 13, 2011

We had a breakfast feed for Rolf and Drake when they were up to visit Alaska. The kidlets (left to right) are my daughter Veaya, Kristen's daughter Davis, Rolf's son Drake, and Kristen's son Bryce.

Me, Rolf and Kristen... friends since 7th grade.
