Predeceased by step-daughter Rita Stacey Klaus, owner/operator of the former Villager Ski Shop in Revelstoke will be missed by many loyal and long time friends.
Those who knew our Klaus…will remember him as the avid cyclist, skier, and rollerblader that he was.
His greatest pleasure though, was to be aboard his sailboat, the “Rhiannon”.
Klaus is being sorely missed by his beloved Cocker Spaniel, Gucci!
The part of Klaus that was a Sailor, will be scattered at sea, by Jim and Debbie Gawiuk from their vessel, the “Avery Rose”.
Klaus’s passing was unexpected….there will be no formal service at this time.
Klaus will be interred in Kamloops where his friends and family can gather informally.
A date will be announced at an appropriate time.
