In memory of J. Kenneth "Kenny" Klinge. Rest In Peace.

We remember Kenny fondly. Mark so enjoyed the years he worked with him. We are so sorry to learn of Kenny's passing and we are sorry we were not able to be at the memorial service. Our sympathies, Mark and Mckayla Braden

I have had the honor of knowing Kenny since my very first political campaign in 1978, in Oklahoma. Kenny would help this then-naif (if not idiot) learn politics. He mentored so many of us, often not so gently, but oh, so effectively. He remains a legend and I am forever grateful that he is part of my own life. Rest in peace, friend, and Godspeed.

Jean, Kenny had the most influence on my career of anyone. Still today, I ask myself 'What would Kenny do"? He will be missed, but he spawned at least two generations of politicos!

Jean, I was deeply saddened to learn yesterday of Kenny´s passing. He was a good friend for many years stretching back to meetings in his office at the Dalton Campaign headquarters. I am sorry that I will miss the Celebration of Life tomorrow, but please know that I will be there in spirit. Rick Ahearn

Rest in peace Kenny, it was a pleasure knowing you.

Kenny will be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy will endure for many, many years.

Jean, What a shock and way too young. Kenny had so much to offer. He was a great Board Member at MWAA and I so much enjoyed the opportunity to work with him and accept his guidance and advice. Kenny was also my favorite golf partner. A tee in the fairway if you use a wood.... I wish I could be there Thursday however I can not. My thoughts will be with you. My best to you and the family. May his memory be eternal. Keith Meurlin
