Our family would like to offer our deepest condolences during this time of loss. Peace be with the Klink family.

My family and I are very saddened to hear of Dr. Klink’s passing. He was such a kind, compassionate man. I’ll always remember his smile, wit, and reassuring care. After moving to the Eastern Shore, I didn’t hesitate to travel to Gloucester for appointments. Thank you, and God bless you, Dr. Klink.

Sorry to hear about Robert's passing. Sincere thoughts to all his family. I knew Robert in Roanoke as a classmate at Patrick Henry High School. He and I also participated in the First Christian Church's Youth Fellowship group led by choir director, James Ware. Robert was so level-headed and fun to interact with in our fund-raising activities, Easter Morning trips to Natural Bridge, and Ware's adventure trips to Philadelphia, and '64 NY Worlds Fair. At graduation, Robert headed off to VMI, and...

My condolences on your loss. Remembering good times together at SML.

Robert and I grew up together in South Roanoke, Va. We got into quite a bit of mischief in the neighborhood, joined cub scouts together, went to patrol boy officer training school together (Kilmarnock, Va) and remained close friends through high school. I spent many hours at his house including time with his Father in their backyard observatory. He went to VMI, I went to UVa and we went on diverging professional careers but stayed in touch over the years including a golf outing at...

Robert and I have been friends since the third grade, and graduated from Patrick Henry High School together. He was an effective student body president and a wonderful man in all respects. Such a sad day, but celebrating a meaningful life. For June and the family, please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dr Klink was my Dr for many years, I struggled with infertility so I spent a lot of time with him between testing, procedures, and surgery. Fortunately, that time paid off and resulted in 2 healthy pregnancies. He had the best bedside manner and always made me feel at ease. He will be missed! My condolences to his family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Sending Prayers
