So true, a wonderful life Abbi had! His kindness, his love for his friends and family remain with us all. What a gift it was to have him in my own life, so many moments he was there, a warm and generous presence. Thinking of you all, and sending wishes for peace.
Do you have been a friend of mr. Putlitz?
Abbi was the biggest, most ebullient, most gregarious, most full-of-life spirit I’ve ever had the honour to share a room with. He loved everyone. He loved you so dearly. We all loved him. What a life he shared with us. It is so sad that he is gone. May he continue to guide you through this hard time of change. My blessings. My love. Harold Rhenisch

I am so sorry for your loss. May your memories support and help you to remember the joy you shared.
Abbi war ein lieber Freund in Judendtagen. Wir sind zusammen nach Kanada gereist, meine Abireise. Letztendlich haben wir beide unser neues Zuhause in Kanada gemacht, er im Westen, ich im Osten.
Gisi hat uns wieder ein bischen verbunden. Lang, lang ist es her, doch ich denke an euch alle und wuensche euch Frieden im Herzen. May Abbi rest in peace.

The message hit me like a hammer. I’d always thought you’d live forever…So, rest in peace my dear old friend of younger days in Göttingen, Germany! My thoughts are with your family. I’m so sorry that you’re gone.
Ruhe in Frieden Abbi.
Du warst mir damals während unserer Zeit beim TUS Melle immer ein Top-Teamplayer und guter Freund.
Gruß Stephan
Mein lieber Freund, ruhe in Frieden. Danke für die vielen gemeinsamen Momente. Benny
Dear Albrecht! I am hopeful to meet you again…somewhere between earth and sky. Without any clouds, but many stars and, of course the moon.
Best greetings to your family.
As ever. Yours faithfully

Liebe Familie Putlitz,
mein Beileid.
Abbi traf ich 1984 in Frankreich bei einem Sprachkurs, wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit.
Wir haben Ausflüge gemacht, Fußball gespielt am Strand, er war immer voller Energie.
Leider haben wir uns nicht mehr getroffen, er bleibt immer in meiner Erinnerung als ein besonderer Mensch.

It was three years ago that a half dozen of us were together to celebrate Abbi’s 63rd. birthday.
We all still miss him.
Our heartfelt condolences, my mother was a descendent of the Von and zu Putlitz family.

Hello, my deepest sympathy for your loss. You do not know me, but I am from British Columbia, Canada. I am reaching out to see if your father was a photographer and traveled here to visit my parents, Alvin and Lorraine Wilson. I am going through things and have come across many photographs and see that he would write to them also. Take Care and apologies if this is the incorrect person. Thank you for your time.
Dear zu Putlitz family,
My dearest condolences regarding the loss of Albrecht or Abbi. I used to be co-owner of the largest wholesaler in pet items here in Holland. Albrecht was the salesmanager Tetra Werke Melle. We worked together for several years and during this cooperation our market share in fish food in Holland raised to astonishing 96% of all sales in the pet stores, supermarkets and DIY / garden centers. We had here in Holland worldwide by far the biggest market share in fish food. Our cooperation was more than business wise. Albrecht had also the capacity to listen to the customers whises, which resulted that sales to our company and from our company to the market went through the roof! Also when we privately married, Albrecht showed up. Friendly guy, just a very good person! I only can imagine they need him up in the sky! I dearly remember the evenings when we had a few beers or more here in the local pubs! Where we also planned crazy promotions for our market. We were unstoppable! I can not express more my sadness when i found out today that he already passed away almost 5 years ago.
I trust you (same as me) will never forget him.
Warm regards from Holland and a big hug for all of you
