Michael J. Klinger

Our family still talks about Mike. He was so passionate about his work and if you asked he shared facts. My favorite memory was when Mike caught a pesty skunk. He showed me the fleas and the odor pouch. Myself and our extended family miss Mike and think of him often- he made a difference in the world. Hugs to you his Mom that he loved so much

I always think about Mike as a matter of fact I still have the 2 jars of honey he left on my doorstep unopened, I won´t open them and they still look as fresh as the day he left them

Tuesday, August 6, it will be five years since Mike left. It still feels like yesterday and forever all at once. I wonder if anyone remembers him and thinks of him. I still hear him saying "Gotta go, be back, I love you Mom" I didn't have a chance to say it back before he closed the door. I LOVE YOU, MY MIKE.

We have used Michael's expertise on and off for at least 20 years. I can't say enough about the wonderful chats we had over the years. I always though he had a value system and a sense of decency that really belonged to a past century. Kinder times, I guess. He was unique. I'm sure I always ruined his schedule, because whenever he came to the house, I would keep him talking for at least an hour. I have to say, I am really saddened by Michael's passing. I'm sure he and Saint Francis are...

Ruth and family - my deepest sympathies on losing your son, Mike. My sister and I knew him over 24 years while living in Western Springs. He always did his job with humor and a great knowledge of nature. He always shared very interesting stories. He will be missed. You are in my prayers. Sincerely, Mary Pirman

Dear Ruth and Family,

So sorry to hear about Michael he was the best! I work for Animal Control and rec'd a call one day about 10 years ago regarding someone trapping Squirrels on a house. Lucky for me that day, I met Michael! He was so funny and the most-knowledgeable person I met when it came to wildlife. He was my go to person if I ever needed help or had a question. He was always there to help me. I referred his company to everyone I could. Truly an amazing man and I will...

Hello Ruth,
My deepest sympathies on losing your son, Mike. My sister and I knew Mike for over 25 years while living in Western Springs. He always did his job with humor and a great knowledge of nature. He always had some interesting stories to share. He will be missed. You and your family are in my prayers. Sincerely, Mary Pirman

We loved Mike! He was like a son and a most-knowledgeable one at that. Mike helped rid our property of furry critters over the few years that we knew him. He was always full of stories of his many adventures and they were most interesting. When we learned of his honeybee hobby we discussed our experiences and were blessed with fresh honey over a couple of years. We learned just today of his passing last year ... which now accounts for the fact that we did not see him at honey-harvest...

I'm met Mike early last Spring morning. I went to get the newspaper off the driveway and I looked down the way and saw this nice looking man and his great big pickup! He got out of his truck and came over and introduced himself to me ,said he was the new trapper. I told him the old trapper did know how to trap and it we had skunks and raccoons and everything for years. Th en he told me things would change! We had quite a wonderful conversation... him informing me of how he goes about doing...
