Our sincere sympathies to the Klimpke family on Johns passing. In his 96th year, oh what a long list of wonderful memories you’ll be able to call on for comfort in the days ahead when you go to call him or want to share something the kids have done with him and feel the sharp pain of grief in knowing that moment is gone.
