Thomas "Tom" A. Kline, 63, of North St. Paul, passed away unexpectedly on September 15, 2025. He was preceded in death by infant daughter, Brittany Lynn; and his dad, Harold J. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Roberta "Bobbi"; children, Tiffany (Brian) Buffington, Becca Bell, and Tyler (Quinlyn); granddaughter, Daphne Buffington; mom, Frances "Frankie"; siblings; Paul (Fenella), Peggy (Kim) Krieg, Frank (Sally); and other nieces; nephews; family and friends.

Tom had a wonderful sense of humor and a naturally positive outlook, he had a gift for lifting others up. He lived selflessly, always ready to lend a hand whenever he could. He was a spiritual person, extremely devoted, with an amazing strength and preservereance. Beyond his character, Tom had many loves in life. Whether cheering on a hockey or football game, sketching a drawing, casting a line while fishing, or enjoying music, he found joy in simple and meaningful moments. The North Shore was a place especially close to his heart, holding many fond memories and moments with his family and those he loved.
