I have very fond memories of Klaus. He was welcoming. Sorry for your loss.
Klaus was our neighbor and friend. We were blessed to know him. – Larry and Dawn.
Have known Klaus for over 40 years as we worked together in the radio shop atOffutt AFB. He was a colleague and a dear friend. To Edie, Kevin & Olaf, know that Jan and I are so sorry. RIP MY FRIEND
Edie and family, my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I was fortunate enough to have met Klaus over the fence when I was a 20 something, first time homeowner, many years ago. Though I haven’t seen him in 40 years, he’s one of the people who always has, and will continue to pop up in my memories. I’m sure his was a life lived well.
