In Memoriam Gotthard Rosner

Every now and then, there is a little controversy about the photo of an elderly confrere who died. Should we publish a recent photograph, which reflects the physical appearence of the confrere  during the last years, or should we post an older picture, which will be acknowledged by the people he worked with when he was in Africa ? Father Gotthard died on the second of September. He was a formator for many years and a superior general for 6 years. Many younger confreres have known him… with a beard, which he let go for the last few years. 

Here are various pictures of him at different moments of his life. I also posted those pictures on the page announcing Fr. Rosner’s death.
