Wolfgang Hans Heinrich Gunther
Wolfgang Hans Heinrich Gunther, 89, died Jan. 19 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
“Wolfgang knew he wanted to be a chemist since he was 11, and his father handed him his first inorganic chemistry textbook. I recall him sitting in the evenings drawing molecular structures while the family watched television or read. He could never resist a good book and delighted in thinking about what the future might hold. Science fiction was a favorite genre of his. A very fond memory is of Wolfgang and his wife, Helge, on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. They built a beautiful life together.”—Rita Gunther McGrath, daughter
