I just came across Dr. Klassen's obituary today. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Klassen and her sons. I was a student in his Reformation class in 1999. He was an excellent professor, filled with knowledge and passion for the subject. I will remember him fondly.

Dear Nancy and Family,
I was unable to attend the service, and I was greatly saddened by the news of Peter's passing. He was to me a great influence as a professor and later as a colleague and friend. I had great admiration for him, I enjoyed knowing his family, and I will miss him very much. I will especially miss the gentle good humor that he shared with me. Please accept the most heartfelt condolences from Diana and me. God's peace be with you all at this time.

I am very saddened by the passing of Peter Klassen, a gracious and wonderful person, my mentor since 1991.
He has enriched life of many people and accomplished so much in his life passing along the Mennonite history in Poland and other countries. What a legacy for us.
Rest in peace my dear friend and enjoy a reunion of all your friends and ancestors in heaven.
May God bless his beloved wife Nancy and the family in this time of sorrow.
