Toronto. My friend Tonchi Martinic in BC writes, “… we have very sad news to share with all of you. Our best friend and well known camera technician Horst Wenzel has passed away. We share our sadness with all of you who knew him. We have lost a great and talented man. The skills and knowledge he brought will be irreplaceable, and his loss will be felt by the entire camera community.”
In 2004, Horst lost his mother-in-law, the late Jean Mary Strang. Over a decade later, BC photographer Rennie Brown wrote this 2016 article on Horst while Horst inspected his Rollei. Another Vancouver Photographer, Alex Waterhouse-Hayward, wrote this 2007 article in his blog complementing the work Horst did for him at his Vancam repair business.
