A man well known by many of our clients died recently. This a tribute by Paul Ruane.
I have written a few lines about the life of a man whom you could write at least 10 books.
Jens was a strong minded, powerful man but above else he was a perfect gentleman.
When you think of a picture of a Gentleman, you envisage someone in a suit and tie. Jens was never comfortable in this attire, he was very happy in a pair of shorts and open toe shoes, and as he lived his life dressed like this his achievements were second to none.
When you look around this area it is easier to point out what Jens Peter Fulda never had a hand in, compared to the immense work he did in this area.
This single minded Gent was never afraid to confront authorities or anyone else to achieve what he thought was good and right.
As he worked his main goal was not one of financial gain. He just enjoyed developing and making dreams come true for many, many people.
While he was with us he touched many peoples lives and I can assure you a word he heard millions of times in varying languages was GRACIAS FULDA.
He was never a very materialistic man and in fact he not long ago changed his Porche Cayenne for a much smaller car that was more environmentally friendly.
He loved and respected nature and especially the sea. I remember on many occasions Jens halting his boat very quickly to pick up plastic bags and other litter from the ocean, something he would always do on land as well.
His love of sports, especially tennis and golf made him as always a champion to be reckoned with. He always gave 100% in everything he did – work and play. He was never a hunter – in fact he would not hurt a fly – unless it was in the right position on his hand!
When he relaxed and danced, again he put everything into enjoying life.
I don´t want to go on too long although that would be easy in talking about the greatness of Jens.
A more honest, generous, positive thinking and exemplary person you will not meet in your life.
When he left us this week it wasn’t a heart problem.. I can tell you first hand .. his heart was always in the right place.
I don´t know about other parts of the world – but I can say to you in these parts we have lost our number one.
Gracias Fulda.
