Posted by Fred Steiner on July 31, 2014 - 7:59pm

Ralf Bronnenmeier was a very personable, humble and down-to-earth person.

That’s how Rev. David Ross described Ralf to over 320 persons who attended a memorial service for the deceased Grob Systems CEO. The service was in the late afternoon of July 31 in St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Bluffton. The timing enabled many Grob employees to attend.

The Icon understands that Bronnemeier’s remains will be flown to Germany. The Bluffton memorial service was a way for Bluffton persons to pay their respects.
