"He was a super type," enthuses Oliver Herrmann, who is responsible for public relations at the SWFV. Wallitt was not only known and appreciated in the southwestern Palatinate, but also for his unshakable loyalty and courage to address uncomfortable topics. "Edgar was loyal, honest, reliable, irreplaceable," said district of Ehrgott, who had known the deceased for 42 years and whose trust grew with every day.
