 [translated from German by Robbie]

On the evening of February 26, 2020, our beloved organ builder,
Josef Eduard Raffin, died peacefully at the age of almost 88 years,
surrounded by his family.

We are very sad but also thankful that we were allowed to have him
with us for so long, thankful for many nice moments with him, and
everything he left us as a legacy.  We will honor it!

Out of respect for the bereaved family, we ask you to refrain from
expressing condolences by telephone.  We look forward to your letters
and will be happy to forward them.

With kind regards,

Friedlinde & Rafael Engeser
