Sad News – Rupert Klammer

The Fraser Valley Woodturners Guild is saddened to announce that one of our members is no longer with us.

Rupert Klammer passed on November 25th, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

It’s not everyday that you get to meet someone so special.  That’s how I felt when I met Rupert.  For those of you who were not fortunate enough to have made his acquaintance, Rupert was the guy with that constant smile and a twinkle in his eyes. 

He was a brilliant engineer who designed and headed the construction of oil refineries in almost every country in the world.  He was an on site engineer, a real one.  His stories would blow your mind.

Above all, he loved woodturning.  He got very excited over a piece of wood.

Please join us in wishing his family our deepest condolences.
