Klaas POST

I just learned that Dr Klaas Post has passed on and I want to express my condolences to his family. I was an intern in the WCVM small animal veterinary hospital in the late 1970's and Dr Post was such a super mentor to me and the other students and intern. What a nice man and such a big contribution to veterinary medicine and sports; I am so sorry he is gone too soon.

I was so very sorry to hear about Dr. Post's passing. I just saw the notice in the Sask alumni magazine. Dr. Post was one of my professor's at WCVM, and I wanted to pass on my condolences.

To Klaas' Family
We are so sorry for your loss and Klaas will be greatly missed. Tim and I knew Klaas for years from speed skating. His years of contributions to the sport and friendship will be remembered by us and many. He had a positive impact on the lives of many skaters and parents. We were so sad to hear about his passing.
Our thoughts are with you.
Tim and Brenda Comfort

We had such good times with Klaas in the early 70's at WCVM and then in Calgary. He embraced life and was so comfortable with himself that we were immediately drawn to him and his goodness. Have a wonderful journey Klaas. You will be so missed.

To Klaas's family,

I was a veterinary student at WCVM in late 70's and had Klaas as a teacher in my small animal clinical studies. I appreciated his dedication to the profession and his excellent, laid back approach to teaching his students. He was able to get his point across in a serious manner but knew when to use his excellent sense of humour to make everyone around him feel comfortable.

He was one of my favourite professors at WCVM and I am very sad to hear of his passing. I am sure that he will be missed by his family, friends and colleagues all over the world.

Joanne--It is with sadness that I read of Klaas passing. I was a Vet student in the mid 1970 at WCVM and had the privilege of being taught by Klaas. I enjoyed his humor and patience as well thoroughly enjoyed playing soccer with him. Our relationship continued on through the years as a mentor while I was in private practice. A great colleague who will be missed.

Dear Joanne, Jeff, Michelle and families,
We send our deepest condolences to you all at this difficult time. Andrew had the privilege of having Klaas as a soccer coach for 8 years. During those years we witnessed Klaas's love of soccer and commitment to each and every player in encouraging them to be the best player they could be. But he was much more than a excellent coach. He was a treasured friend, a jovial fellow who loved to laugh and make others laugh, loved animals but most of he was a devoted husband and father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow.

Post Family,
Mr Post was an extraordinary man. He always had a huge smile on his face and made anyone smile from ear to ear with his roar of a laugh. I fondly remember the times in your family's kitchen where he would pull out his big wheel of cheese out of the fridge and start slicing away. He was always good for a laugh and he was always so kind to us girls:) We were lucky enough to have known him in our lives. We are all thinking of you always and sending our love your way.

Dear Joanne,
I remember Klaas dropping in for visits when you and I worked the night shift at 17th. He was such a nice man and I'm sure you and your family will miss him terribly. My thought are with you at this sad time.

Dear Joanne
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We value the time we shared as neighbours in Saskatoon.
Love Bob and Lynn Tait

Dear Joanne,
I'm very sad to hear of Klaas' passing and want you to know how many veterinarians, including me, share in your loss. Klaas was a great guy, wonderful teacher, veterinarian, coach, and excellent administrator. He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to and your family.

I played many soccer seasons with Klaas for Saskatoon United In resent years we had a round of golf together, we had a great day with lots of laughs and we both agreed that maybe we should have stuck with soccer, but that golf was easier on the old body !
Remembering the good times!
R.I.P. Klaas.

Dear Joanne, Jeff, Michelle and families,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your dear husband, father and grandfather.
Klaas was such a friendly, outgoing man with a big heart and a great sense of humor. He was an accomplished yet unassuming person. He was so proud of his family. We have wonderful memories of our neighborhood and St Bernard gatherings.
May God give you strength at this difficult time. You are all in ours thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of Klaas's passing. Our thoughts are with you Joanne, Jeff, Michelle and your families.
We have such wonderful memories of Klaas - his dedication and patience as a coach were amazing. But above all, we enjoyed his quick-wit and great sense of humour.
We will treasure the memories. Take care.

Sorry to hear of your loss!! I will always remember his laugh!! Hugs to you Michelle!!

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Klaas always came down to our end of the hallway (LAC) to visit, crack a joke, tell a story and make everyone smile. He was one of a kind.

Joanne and family our condolences to you and family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Joanne and family, Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I was just asking a few weeks ago about you guys. We miss you around the complex! Mollie was asking about Winston awhile back too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time!

Dear family,

Barb and I send our condolences to you. We did not meet, but Klaas was a classmate of mine at the HLS in Holland and we immigrated around the same time to Canada.
Many of the sports activities mentioned in the obituary I remember he was already also doing before he immigrated. Wishing you courage and comfort.

Joanne, Jeffrey and Michelle, our deepest sympathies to you and your families. We were unaware of Klaus' health issues and we were so saddened to hear of his passing. Your family were such good neighbours for so many years and we certainly have many fond memories of Klaus that we will always cherish. Our thoughts will be with you in the days ahead.

Joanne, Jeffrey and Michelle. We were so sorry to hear of Klaas's passing. We had not heard until today. Klaas had a special way of communicating with people and always managed to make things understood. This was usually accomplished with his wit and humour. He managed many special accomplishments in his life and his family being his biggest. We are thinking of all of you and hope that the memories that you share will help with your sorrow.

y to hear

Dear Post Family,

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Klaas. I always thought we would meet again and be able to reminisce and laugh about the old days, but sadly it was not meant to be.

I worked with Dr. Post at U of S in the early 70's. He was a young doctor then in the small animal clinic and I worked in the clinic reception. It was a stressful job due to the volume of sick animals but Klaas always knew how to make every day a fun one.

There are some people you meet in your life that you never stop loving Klaas was one of them. Although I haven't seen him in decades, I will never forget him and will always smile when I think of him.

Klaas was a generous, kind and open hearted man who I am so sorry had to leave you all so soon.

May you rest in peace, dear Friend.

Joanne and family my sincerest sympathies for you at this difficult time.We will keep you in out thoughts and prayers

I worked with Dr. Post on various university committees at the University of Saskatchewan. He was thoughtful, helpful, and authoritative, always making decisions in the best interests of the students. He will be missed.
