Robert Walter Kleinschmidt

I did not know that Bob had passed away until recently meeting another person who had also been a student of his. Bob was such a wonderful human being, artist and teacher. He was incredibly supportive and encouraging - especially to those of us who were exploring and making work outside the norm. I will always remember his generosity and kindness... and Rat-foxes!

Bob was easily the most generous teacher I ever had. That's saying a lot since I've spent so much time around academics and artists in my life.

His willingness and ability to look deeply into his students and offer in-depth and helpful insights was unparalleled.

He will be missed, know I'm just one of so many whose life and art was touched and made better by his contributions.

Thank you Bob

Dear Mary Jo,
I will always remember you fondly as my clinical supervisor as I did my internship at head start soooo many years ago! To this day you hold a soft spot in my heart. Your love and dedication to your profession was so inspirational to me. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet husband. Know that you are loved! May you find peace during this difficult time. Eileen Paul
