I have been going to Busch Gardens all my life and have enjoyed many dinners and lunches with the Burgermeister. My whole family has fond memories of joining in with him while he sang. He was definately missed when he retired and will continue to be missed when ever I visit Das Festhaus. God bless him.

Thank you so much for commenting about him in such a nice way. We already miss him greatly but we are trying to be strong for him. I personally have never heard him sing and if I did I was much to young to remember. May God bless you Great Pop-pop.
