Marion Klutzke Obituary
West Lafayette - Marion Klutzke now resides in Allis Chalmer's heaven. A farmer & inventor his entire life of 88 years until he fired up a D-21 and ascended on May 9 from Scottsdale, AZ. He is no doubt mentoring the heavens with his knowledge and stories from one of his many "brag books". God, Himself, probably has a few head- scratcher questions for him. He was a graduate of Montmorenci High School in 1948. He served in the Korean conflict from 1953-55 while stationed on Bainbridge Island, WA commanding the Army motor pool as a lieutenant. He is survived by Julie Lamb, the mother of his children-Randy, Ron, & Angelique (predeceased). Surviving siblings are brother Bob and sister Evelyn (predeceased by oldest brother Joe & sister Hortense). A celebration of life will be held 2-6pm on July 28th. Please contact Randy or Julie.

I just now learned of Marion's passing. I adored him. He was just the greatest guy ever. He fixed my Allis Chalmers B with a pop can many years ago. Another time he and his brother Joe worked on that same tractor for me... One time my son and I stopped by the Little K and he gave us a ride in his souped up Allis. I kept meaning to stop and talk to him, but didn't get it done. What a great great guy. One of the folks I'd like to see in heaven, for sure. We'll talk tractors and hay and and and...

Marvin your like the sun, a pretty orange color that gently touches every flower or every one that came into your life. It will not be the same without Marvin and his Orange Allis Chalmers tractors, tractor pulls at the county fair, Louisville machinery show and don't forget those fun days taking the van to the Indianpolis 500 hundred with the family. Your beautiful smile is always contagious. You are now with Angie and heaven is not the same. Thanks for all the memories. OXOX Teresa.

Marion (Marvin to us) and the Little K' was like a second father/home to me. I was best friends with his daughter Angie from 8th grade on. We couldn't drive any of his cars unless we knew the basic workings of an internal combustion engine, could change a tire and the oil. So many wonderful memories with the Klutzke family. Riding the Go Buggy to Maggie's, mass on Sunday, Liddy the cat, the Nomads, Bluebell and all the other cars are such sweet ones. You are now with Angie and heaven is a more interesting place because of it. Thx for the memories. XOCindy.
