Mr. Klassen was my English teacher at Murdoch Mackay Collegiate. He was a wonderful teacher who inspired me to further my education. I was lucky enough to see him again a few years back and let him know what a difference he made in my life. Thirty years have gone by and I still remember the stories he shared of his travels. I will always remember him and the impact he had on my life. I am so thankful I had the privilege of having him as my teacher. I am deeply sorry for your loss - Posted by: Tamara (former student) on: Oct 18, 2014
