George Charlton Klingman

Mr Klingman was a truly great boss. Among the hard-to-find ones, difficult to part with, and impossible to forget. R.I.P.

Janice With my deepest sympathy in the loss of George He was a kind man as well as yourself Deborah (your old letter carrier in Ellington)

The George I knew As I deal with the death of a close friend of over 40 years and a person I admired tremendously I decided to put my thoughts on paper (or my iPad). I first met George in 1980 when I transferred to the Travelers Home Office.George and I both worked in Personal Lines but the similarities ended there, he was one of the big guys who called the shots and I was not. Initially my interactions George were infrequent, a few times a month in meetings when we...

Mr Klingman touched so many lives in the very best way. I'm grateful I got the chance to know him as both a employee under his Personal Lines Division at the Travelers. He was one of the BEST VP officer at The Travelers that made you feel part of the team and your work was a important contribution to the Travelers goals under his leadership no matter what your position's responsibilities and assigned project assignments were. He will be truly missed.. With my deepest sympathy.

My immediate memory of George is that he was the official barber in the men´s dorm at Juniata and that he earned an income in this way. The other memory is his description of Janice, as his "Tallahassee Lassie".

His contagious laugh around the fire in St. Lucie

As a career long Travelers person, I always had a high respect for George. He was one of the good guys with a lot of integrity. Little did I know that his wife played handbells and was a member of our community bell group in Vernon, CT . That is when I got to know him as a person. Great guy. Condolences to Janice and the kids.

I ATTENDED JUNIATA COLLEGE WITH GEORGE FOR FOUR YEARS. HE WAS A VERY BRIGHT AND GOOD GUY. OUR SENIOR YEAR GEORGE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND I WAS THE VP. I WILL MISS GERORGE GREATLY HE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ME . REST IN PEACE GOOD AND FAITHFUL FRIEND. BOB HUEGLIN

Many memories of the Klingmans at Church. amazing dedicated hard workers, it seemed he was always there to do everything and anything for all that needed him, and the countless hours working quietly behind the scenes that too often go unappreciated. An honor to know them, wishing both Geroge and JJ peace as they travel thru eternity together, and strength and courage to their family at this difficult time.
