Rest in the sweetest peace Mr.Klopp! You were such a great teacher always went above and beyond! You took a group of girls (me included) to go watch one of your step daughter's ringette games, we all had such a blast! It was also neat to find out you taught my mom at Lorne Ave. Thank You for being such a great influence on many young lives. <3

Our sincere condolances to Judy and the rest of Dave's Family. Unfortunately we can't attend the visitation or the service, but our thoughts will be with you. Dave will be missed at the London Regional Bluegrass Association get-togethers.

Judy and family, am saddened to hear of your loss. I taught with Dave for eleven years at J. P. Robarts. He was an excellent physical education teacher and always welcoming and supportive. I recall his sense of humour , especially his pranks. Dave could fix any bicycle with skill learned at the Klopp Bicycle Shop and often assisted students with theirs. Fondly remembered.

On behalf of the gang up here at the Thorndale Music Hall we send our sincere condolences to Judy and all of his family. His dry wit and infectious laugh and the sweet sounds from his dobro will be sorely missed. Our weekly jams will not be the same without him.

Condolences to Judy and the Klopp family. Dave was a member of our race team at Delaware for several years, a friend, and fellow classic car enthusiast. It was wonderful to reconnect on cruise nights most recently. Dave's enthusiasm, dry humour and love of cars and bicycles will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Sincerely, The Morris Family

To Mr. Klopp's family, My deepest condolences to you and your family. Mr. Klopp was my grade 5 teacher and I remember that year with great fondness because of him. He was always very encouraging and, as has been mentioned by many others, his wit and humour was ever present. Warm thoughts from my family to yours.
