Measure Of A Man

The late Mr wolf-dieter rösch was the modern take of the renaissance man: a man who embraced the warmth of knowledge and the determination to keep learning from every place he visited. In turn he leaves behind a legacy that will be fondly remembered by the people who he met.

Many who have met the late Chef Wolf-Dieter Rösch would remember his joie de vivre, his deep love for life and living, and his generosity for helping anyone in need. This stemmed from the life of adventure and work he had done, including growing up in the aftermath of WW2 in Germany, a life as a chef that took him all around the world, including the Philippines, the U.S.A. , Mexico, Africa, and Singapore, and his later years as an artist and creative consultant. His experiences overseas formulated a huge part of his identity, including a life-changing experience surviving the Lakonia cruise liner disaster. “This defining event changed his outlook on life forever,” says Madam Ophelia Koo, his spouse.

“I hope people remember him as a Renaissance Man, a great chef and a talented artist, and that he loved good food, good wine, good company and appreciated all things beautiful.” Madam Ophelia Koo
