Little League International Tribute
The post below is from the Little League International site. His co-coach and friend, Peter Gianusso, who is president of the El Segundo Little League that Bill was part of, is quoted, “There’s a hole in the heart of El Segundo Little League. Bill was one of the kindest, most light-hearted, quiet people that you'd ever meet."
We heard from Prof. Kavehpour at the Engineering School Vigil last week that baseball was a a major source of bantering in their office halls at UCLA, especially between Profs. Eldredge and Klug, with Bill being a diehard Dodger fan and enjoying the games with his young son, whom he has coached since T-ball days in the El Segundo League. In another article Mr. Gianusso is quoted as saying, that, as a coach, "Klug was the calm, never the storm. He never raised his voice above speaking voice. ... In a sea of youth sports crazy people he was the nicest and most calm guy that there was."
Thank you, Peter Gianusso, for bringing Little League Coach Klug to life for us all through your words. He was the same in our world at UCLA - the calm, never the storm.
(Note: the post also contains a link to a gofundme campaign started by the El Segundo Little League community that Bill was part of to raise funds for his family.)
