WILLIAM D. "BILL" KLESS

So sad to hear. He was the best teacher and an amazing artist! Rest in peace!

I was saddened to learn of Bill's death. My family owned a chain of frame stores and carried Bill's prints for many years. He was always kind and a pleasure to work with. I will always be grateful for his attendance at a memorial for my mother three years ago. He shared memories of my parents and his experience of a business relationship that was about so much more than commerce.

May your grief be eased by a lifetime of memories that remain available to you as you work your way...

I have thought of him often over the years. My prayers go out to your...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's (Mr. Kless to me) passing. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

Sometimes all it takes is for one person to believe in you, encourage you and inspire you...and Bill was that...
