We met Klaus on a snowy blizzard pounding night in northern Vermont at 2am. His brother knew a friend and said he was a skier and said he may show up. HE DID! we became very good friends but lost track about 1984 when he and Christie moved to Palos Verdes, CA. Sad to learn of his passing. I have so many memories and photos to go over...miss you

Daddy, I miss you...so much. It was time, but it wasn't. I love you with all my heart, and damn it...why? Why so soon? Why now? God, I miss you. I love you. You are, were, my friend, my buddy, you knew everything, even what I don't write in my journal. Why??? Daddy, I miss you sooo much. Can you hear me? Do you watch me? Do you know how empty I am? Daddy? Do you...Love you Daddy...

To a wonderful man I could call my friend. You will be sorely missed. You will forever be part of my life. They say friends can come and go thru your life. Only the special ones leave a mark. You left your mark on me even though our paths crossed for only a short while. Love, Dave
