Over 80, so what?
Robert Kettner cycled through Anzing almost every day and did messenger services.
Now he has died at 88.
Obituary for the "cycling Robert".
Anzing - Mostly with a red rose on his hat, Robert Kettner cycled through Anzing for many years and did messenger tours for shops and private individuals.
Or just put in a good mood.
If a bakery saleswoman urgently needed a utensil from another shop in town, but couldn't leave: Ask Robert, he brought it.
If a framed decorative picture was broken in the flower shop: Robert Kettner fetched it, straightened it and brought it back.
Anzing: Messenger services of all kinds
The pensioner was out on his bike from early in the morning - regardless of the weather.
Always with a smile on your face.
Of course there was always a little bit of advice about God and the world, about news as well as gossip in the place.
Every now and then he would tell a joke and even make morning grouches laugh.
The day started well with Robert Kettner.
I drive as long as I can.

“I'll drive as long as I can,” he once said.
That also applied when his health was not so good.
Helping through Anzing and others on his bike has been his life in the last few years.
"So I am out in the fresh air every day and meet people," he said, whom everyone only addressed by his first name.
Now the Anzingen veteran is missing: The "cycling Robert", as our newspaper wrote about him in a portrait five years ago, died at the age of 88.
The funeral service is on Friday, November 26th, at 2.30 p.m. in the church cemetery in Anzing.
