      Donald Paul Klinger
      June 14, 1934 - January 30, 1999

      Donald Paul Klinger was born June 14, 1934, in Ashland, Pa., to William Ray Klinger and Edna Grace Markel.

      Donald entered the United States Air Force on Feb. 15, 1954, and served with honor and distinction as a helicopter crew chief while holding the rank of airman first class. He received the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Donald began a career with the San Angelo Police Department on Oct. 1, 1957 and served through Jan. 15, 1984, having risen to the rank of patrol sergeant. Formal studies included the Institute of Applied Science of Finger Print and Photography as well as earning an advanced law enforcement certificate. He met and married the love of his life, Barbara Ann Calvert on Dec. 14, 1957, at 7:30 p.m. at the First Christian Church in San Angelo.

      Don loved his sons and grandchildren to a passion. He died in his loving wife's arms, after a day of love, sharing and companionship.

      Preceding Don in death were his father, William Ray Klinger (April 21, 1963);mother, Edna Grace Markel (June 10, 1944); brother, Charles L. Klinger (October 1986); and brother, Robert William Klinger (November 1985). Don is survived by his wife, Barbara Klinger of Las Vegas; son, Dr. Donald Ray Klinger of Fort Worth, wife, Linda, grandchildren, Jeremy and Kayla; son, Kenneth Clyde Klinger of Valdez, Alaska, wife, Amy, and soon-to-arrive grandson; and son, David Paul Klinger of San Diego, with his son, David Joseph Klinger. We believe that the "good" that a man does never dies, but lives on in the lives of those he touched. God Speed.

      If desired, donations may be made to the San Angelo
      Salvation Army.

      Service will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3, in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel with burial in Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.
