Robert Klaus Obituary

As the years have passed, I continue to think about Robert and what a exquisitely complex and compassionate person he was. He came into a field that was quite foreign to him, and applied his intellect and savvy about human nature in the context of history to shake up a stodgy old club. He challenged old ideas that had not worked and offered new perspectives. He transformed a quiet, dusty organization designed to defend the past into an ambitious provocateur that dared envision an invigorated and more socially relevant future. Thanks for the stimulating ride Robert. It has made a big difference in a lot of lives.

I send my sincere condolences during this very difficult time. May you all find comfort from the words found at 1 Thessalonians 4:14.

Dear Joan and family,

I was saddened by the news of the passing of your beloved husband and dad.You were a wonderful family to know.I cherish the memory i have of your family. I pray that God will give you the strength as you grieve.
May God bless and keep you all, in Jesus name I pray. Amen !!!

Dear Joan and Family,

My deepest sympaties in your loss. Robert was an amazing intellect, humanitarian, strategist and leader. He was also a great boss and I learned many things from him and grew in my own convictions and abilities. I,so,enjoyed working with him at Oral Health Ametica. It was a heady time for striving for good.

Robert, was the finest person I ever met. The world has become a lonelier place without him in it. Very sad.

Patty and I have lost a most wonderful and loved family friend who cannot be replaced. Rest well, brother.
