Wallace Houston Klock, III

Passed away at his home on May 25, 2012. He was 59. Mr. Klock was born in South San Francisco on November 30, 1952 to Carlo Trupiano and Berdella Klock. He was adopted and raised by his uncle and aunt, Wallace and Irna Klock. He had a passion for classic cars, especially Buicks, and loved to collect and restore them. He started his own detailing business when he was very young and was well known for his work from Sacramento down to Los Angeles in the classic car show circuit. He and his cars often made it to the pages and covers of Hot Rod Magazine and Street Machine Magazine. He also detailed the cars for the Police, Fire, and Sheriff's Department. Cars were his life and he was often seen cruising down the street in one of his classic cars that he restored himself. Besides his cars, he loved to listen to music, sing karaoke, and collect things such as die cast model cars, hats, pins, etc. Above all his grandchildren were his life and he loved them with all his heart. He had a heart of gold and will be dearly missed. There will never be another Wally Klock.
