William Maxwell Klages

I first met Bill in 1966 when he was an LD at NBC New York. The company I worked for CFTO tv in Toronto, had sent me to spend time with Bill to acquire some knowledge of lighting for colour using TK 41 cameras!
Over the years we became friends and worked together numerous times, culminating in our sharing Emmy´s for the Dorothy Hamill special for ABC.
Bill, for me you were always that star in the sky and knowing that so any others were touched by your brilliance.
RIP, Bill

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill in 1953, and then again in 2014. He was a wonderful, wonderful man, and I'm grateful to have known him. My sincere condolences to his family.

Met Bill when I was the head electrician in the Kennedy Center Opera House. We took to each other right away. He would come back to the Center many times and we would share old times. Gosh I will miss him. The world specially the world of TV has lost one of the pillars that the LD´s stand on now. I am honored to have called you friend. Bill Lewis
