Faithful pro-life servant who had a prophetic meeting with Padre Pio dies at 93

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 23, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Bill Klee, a faithful Catholic husband and father who was devoted to the pro-life movement for so many years, passed away earlier this month at age 93. His death didn’t make local or national headlines, but there’s an interesting story to tell about this godly man.

Back in 1950, after serving in the U.S. Army at Okinawa during World War II and graduating from the University of Notre Dame, Klee was discerning his vocation — religious life or marriage? — like many dedicated young men his age. And so he went to Europe on a pilgrimage. While he and a friend were biking through Europe and contemplating what to do next, he made his way to San Giovanni Rotondo hoping to meet Padre Pio, the Italian mystic who was declared a saint by St. John Paul II in 2002.

Who better to ask about his vocation than the prescient priest?  Surely, Padro Pio would have a vision of God’s will for this young man from Ohio. “He was known to be able to read the hearts of troubled souls,” Klee said years later in an interview.

As divine fate would have it, Klee met a monk there who guided him to a brief encounter with the future saint. Now he would get his answer. “Tell the young man there are just as many good fish in the sea as there ever were,” Padre Pio relayed to the monk, who was acting as an interpreter.
