I can still here your dad's booming voice echoing through St. Pius X Church as he delivered the readings at Midnight Mass for Christmas and Easter when all of us Klug kids were young. We always felt a special connection because "Mrs. Koll" was our teacher at Pius. That echo is still there, and your dad's light and love will shine on you always, wherever you are.
Peace to your family.

John, Bill & Family:
Sorry to hear about your father. I have many fond memories of him coming to Rummel games and activities. He and my dad used to sit together and you could hear them across the gym. I could see how much his kids and grand kids meant to him and you are his legacy. I know his bark was louder than his bite but when you were young you didn't. Take care and God bless you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bill. Although I didn't get to see him that often, he always seemed to have time to tell a good fishing story. I'll always remember the good time I had playing cribbage with him and the kindness he always showed towards me and my family. He is in good hands now and watching over his family and friends. We'll miss him.
