In loving memory of Jochen Schaefer * 16.07.1948 - 16.03.2006

Jochen Schaefer, who directed TJs "Darker than Black" video in 1999 and subsequently invited me onto his TV show (see www.tj-music.com), passed away this morning at 7.15 a.m. local time of Liver- and Bonecancer.

Jochen´s cancer had only been diagnosed 6 months ago and on February 24th 2006 he married his longterm relationship Christine with whom he lived together for 11 years.

Apart from his widow, Jochen also leaves a 14 years old daughter behind.

My thoughts are with his friends and relatives and with my good friend Renate who accompanied him as well over the last, difficult weeks and days.

The picture my memory paints is one of a happy, visionary artist who would have deserved to produce TV- and Filmproductions.

He will be sadly missed
