Although I did not realize until today who Klaus was I can say he was always a kind person to me and my wife. We would see him and his dog at Circle K in the mornings where he would get his coffee and paper and a Slim Jim for his dog. I wish I could have known all that time that I was actually friends with his father through masonic connections. Rest in Peace.

We did not always get along but over the years Klaus became a good friend to us. We will most remember him for the love he had for his dogs. His time on Earth was much too short but now he is in a better place and his suffering is over. Cujo will have a happy life here with us. We will take great care of him. He was so worried about Cujo. No worries my friend. Our condolences go out to his family. It was a really rough time and we hope over time it will get easier and you will remember only the good times.
