I was already able to get to know Gunter Rueb 40 years ago at one of his visits to Alois Zettler GmbH in Munich. And I have always appreciated him as a highly competent engineer and a friendly and helpful colleague in all discussions and correspondence over the next decades. So I remember very well: At my first visit to American Zettler my flight was delayed by more than 4 hours; nevertheless Gunter Rueb picked me up at LAX airport – at 01:00 (!!!) in the morning, and I could enjoy his hospitality.
I will always remember him with highest gratitude.
