Earle Henry Klock

Mr. Klock was the teacher who had the greatest influence on me throughout my education, and was one of the brightest stars of Kakiat. Having had the opportunity to learn from him for 3 years in band, stage band, and show bands were probably the most enjoyable times of my early ten years. He taught me much of both music and life. Having had the chance to interact with both Mr. and. Mrs. Klock contributed greatly to my love of learning and music. I wish I had had the opportunity to talk with...

I feel horrible that I just saw this today. I had the pleasure of attending Kakiat and playing in band, stage band, and show bands under Mr. Klock's tutilage. He was wonderful...always kind and supportive and helping me to grow as a musician and a person. To this day .In the Mood is one of my favorite songs. I have thought of him often and regret I didn't keep in better touch.Rest In Peace, Mr. Klock. You were a great teacher and an even better Man.

Please accept our condolences. We are so sorry for your family's loss. Only God can fully understand the emotional impact of your loss, and we pray that He provides you with much needed comfort. (Psalm 145:18, 19)

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4 :14 can bring you some comfort. Know that God cares and that he sees our pain. He gave us a hope by means of his dear son Jesus Christ. It is so reassuring knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death -

I was involved with all of the musicals at Kakiat during my time there and I have wonderful memories of Mr. Klock. My sincerest condolences to your family. May he rest in peace.

Wow! What a life! Mr. Klock was my first REAL music teacher. As a student of Mr. Klock's Kakiat Jr. High School, chorus, band, and musicals, I was taught the very fundamentals of music and performance.
I went on to study music at Ithaca College many years later, though I had no idea Mr. Klock was also an Ithaca alum. My career as a composer, musician and music producer is all because of the great spirit this man had for teaching, and for teaching me early on about bringing 100% to each...

I was in band with Mr. Klock in Kakiat. He was a very kind person and now I have just read what a hero he was, too. May he rest in peace. May his family find comfort. With sincere sympathy from Israel (this does not allow me to write "Israel" as my location.)- Joan Zia Kahn (formerly Teitelbaum)
