Klaus was a very interesting man and a good friend to all that owned a camera, rode a bike or just met him. He was a great asset to the Picture This photo club and he is missed. The big red bus will not be the same without him at the wheel.

We will miss you, it was great to know you and have our many conversations. If it wasn't for you I would have never been able to see the Cape Henry Lighthouses. I will always cherish and embrace that special picture you took for me and my family. There is a big hole in our hearts and wish god could have left you stay just a little bit longer, Brian couldn't wait to see you again and was always asking about you. This has been complete devastation for us! We love you, we miss you, you will always be in our hearts, mind and soul. Until we meet again our friend. Ride free on the wings of an eagle!
