Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories from science class at Vestal Jr. High in the 70's. We called John "Cosmo" for some reason that I can't remember. He was a kind and gentle man.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Klehr family. I have fond memories of my time at Ogden and John's part in those memories. Ge will be missed!

So sorry to hear of your loss. John and I were great friends as we studied at Colorado State in 1975 - 1977. We always loved to have John to our home for dinner because he loved to entertain us with stories, songs, and lots of banjo tunes! Our two little girls were always excited when we told them "Banjo John" would be coming for supper!

Many times over the years we would recall those happy hours we shared with John! You're in our prayers in the coming days.

Candace and Kristin,

I am writing this message from one of the Link Simulation & Training buildings here in Arlington, TX.

I started my career at the Singer-Link, Silver Spring, MD facility and, when that was closed down in the mid-1990s, I moved up to Binghamton, NY. I first met John when we worked together on a project at Newport, RI.

John was a remarkable person. I always thought of him as somewhat of a "Renaissance Man" - gifted in multiple areas of life and work....

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Mrs. Klehr and Kristen. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss, Kristen and Mrs. Klehr.

I did not know John but after reading this beautifully written obituary, I know I have missed meeting an exceptional human being. I am a friend of Tommy's and they seem to resemble each other in more ways than appearances. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of John, who has certainly left a beauty mark on this earth. Sincerely, MF

Candace and Kristen,
So sorry to hear of this. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. You are near and dear to our hearts.
