Michelle in MO Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) I know that not everyone supports HSLDA, but for those who are interested, I thought I'd let you know that Christopher Klicka just passed away. Since we haven't homeschooled in over a year (although we may next year, with our middle daughter) we dropped our membership. I read one of his books prior to homeschooling, and it was helpful in steering us in that direction. I met him once at a homeschooling convention; he answered my questions with great kindness and interest. Christopher Klicka has struggled with MS for quite some time now; he just passed away in hospice care. I think this is the right website if anyone is interested in reading the story further. Requiescat in pacem. Edited October 12, 2009 by Michelle in MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennefer@SSA Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Prayers for the Klicka family. I just read the CaringBridge entry and my heart aches with them for their loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 How sad for his family. Whatever anyone thinks of HSLDA, I for one am grateful for his stand for homeschoolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy in Ky Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Dh and I had the pleasure of meeting him and having dinner with him a few years ago. He was a very kind man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 My dad went to law school with him. He was one smart man! So sorry for his family. Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 He and his family heroically dealt with his illness for years. The depth of their faith and love for Chris is so evident from their communications. He, along with many other early home school pioneers, will be remembered as a difference maker.

Joanne Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 HSLDA aside, that's very sad. He was a young, smart man and a positive force in the homeschooling community. I'll pray for his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieB Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 No matter your opinion on HSLDA, your heart just has to ache for a family that loses their father/husband. I had no clue who he was before it was posted on so many of the boards/email groups that I'm on that he was sick and I went to read his story. I'm glad for the children's sake that they were all able to be there....a few days ago there was concern over whether one or more of them would make it in time, and it appears they did. May their father rest in peace, and may they find peace to go on with their lives without his presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
