Peter Schuppisser Has Passed Away

Death itself is no longer painful for the deceased. It is all the more painful for those left behind—the family, friends, and everyone who knew him.

It’s painful because:

• he had to end his life far too soon
• he was a loving father/brother/uncle
• we’ve lost an incredibly kind and helpful person
• he was a ray of sunshine
• his name was part of the “Flying” program
• we have suffered a loss that cannot be measured in francs and centimes, but rather in kindness of heart, mischief and playfulness, modesty, camaraderie, cheerfulness, and humanity.
• And he had all of that in abundance!

Peter, I bow my head in your honor and truly hope that

Maybe we'll run into each other somewhere again. Just wave your wing at me, please. Why a wing?

Because you’re an angel now!

The many, almost countless shared experiences with Peter. There are hundreds of stories we were all able to experience together, and moments we shared with him.

On November 25, we said goodbye to a person who was a:

• ray of sunshine among us
• a fighter who mastered his life

With a song by Frank Sinatra (“My Way”), everyone was able to say a silent goodbye to him in their thoughts—singing along, dancing, or simply reflecting in silence.

Peter—or “de Schueni” or “de Lang”—has gone his own way, and he leaves his mark behind! We will miss him! He was a wonderful and remarkable person.
