Klaus continues to occupy a special place in the hearts of so many people who knew him, his easy manner, his desire to help anyone at any time, his sensitivity, generosity, good will and common sense, endeared him to all who knew him.

His goal was to become a Orthopedic Surgeon and he was well on his way to that goal. What a future Klaus had, and what a great loss his death represents to the human community. The many letters of condolence and commendations reinforce the biases of a grieving mother.

I remember his last words to me before he left for Viet Nam:

"It does not matter how long you are on earth,
it matters only how you touched the lives of people
while you were here."

"Son, you are always in my heart, you will never be forgotten".....
