Klemens Wilhelm von Klemperer

Professor von Klemperer was one of the first Smith faculty members that we met when we moved to Northampton in the 1970's.
He was always pleasant, a joy to encounter, which we did regularly when he shopped in our specialty food store.
Dr von Klemperer loved Dresdener stollen at the holidays - every year we would make sure that we had a good supply on hand for him, as we dared not disappoint!
We will miss his cheerfulness and conversation - he always wanted to know what we were doing and we him.
It has been our pleasure to have known him; and our best wishes go to his wife and family at this time.
