After he suffered a first light stroke ten years ago, his condition slowly worsened. In the end he was not able to walk or eat on his own, and didn&#8217;t recognize anyone. But up to age 85, there was no sign of slowing. I sometimes went with him to his friends to assist, when he installed satellite tv receiver or video recorders, and explained them to his retired friends. He was a big fan of technology, as such he used photo and video cameras long before the people of the next generation started to do so. We recently watched a small documentary video he filmed in 1973. But what impressed me the most, was the self built radio that he demonstrated to me when I was a kid. He must have wound those coils in the first half of the last century, when radio waves were more like magic to most people.<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ulrichard.ch\/piwigo\/picture.php?\/1538\/category\/35\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ulrichard.ch\/piwigo\/_data\/i\/upload\/2015\/11\/09\/20151109224753-a38d0e0d-th.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, my grandfather passed away, roughly 40 days before his 95th birthday.
