James Peter Klapps

I wanted to take a moment to share a few words about my friend and former annuity consultant, Jim Klaaps. Jim was a rare kind of professional-curious, thoughtful, and genuinely engaged. He always took the time to ask questions, not just about finances or markets, but about life. He had a real interest in rural Alaska and would light up listening to stories about my work and adventures out there. Even after I had semi-retired, Jim would still call just to check in-not for business, but to...

Dear Cousin, it's been a long time and a big family to keep track of. I wrote and called and glimpsed you at family functions. You left a wonderful legacy for the Klapps family. From way back when we sent you cards and my Mother Rachael Klapps put $5 in every Christmas to Tampa. Rest in peace with Lucy.
