Alan Kliskey Obituary
Born on August 29th, 1937, Alan grew up in Macedonia excelling in high school sports. He went on to Kent State University to study Art, while being a standout athlete in track, wrestling and judo. After college, he spent six years in the US Army including time in Korea where he met the love of his life. Alan is preceded in death by his wife Chong Cha (Jeannie). He is survived by oldest daughter Suni, son Aaron, daughters Kelli and Holly, sister Bonnie, brothers Eric and Roger and several extended family members. Alan was a kind soul in his earthly life as a son, brother, father, uncle, friend, mentor and "Papa" to many grandchildren. The loss of his presence will be felt by all who knew him. Papa, we know that the artist and hiker in you are alive and well in Heaven.
