Ale Klaver Sr. Obituary
Ale Peter Klaver Sr.
We’re saying goodbye to Ale Klaver Sr., born October 24,1934 in Morristown, New Jersey. A father who always kept it real and
made life a bit more interesting. He was supportive in his own way, quick with a joke, and always there when it counted.
Ale, also known as Pete or Sony, lived a long and fulfilling life to age 90. He passed on August 16,2025 in the comfort of his home
with family by his side.
Ale was the founder of the family business, Klaver’s Auto and Towing. He enjoyed caring for his animals and his constant
restlessness to be doing something, it wasn’t often that he didn’t have a tool in his hand.
Ale was predeceased by his parents Pete and Stella, his wife of 64 years, Eleanor Susan, two brothers John and Lincoln and 5
Sisters Melody Klaver, Madaline Stanton, Anna Johnson, Frances Johnson and Virginia Staats and two children Irene Heckman and
Rita Gallagher.
Ale is survived by 5 sisters, Ali Wortman, Candyce Kerrigan, April Richardson, Melody Bair and Nellie Klaver two children Ale P
Klaver jr. and Natalie Bisher. His legacy will live on through his children and many grandchildren.
A celebration of life gathering will be held on September 13,2025 at 1721 Valley View Dr., Bangor, PA 18013 between 1:00 and 4:00

We have the most wonderful memories of Uncle Sonny! His laugh, his love of family, the way he cared for his sister, Virginia, my mom, his chickens, his dogs, the pigeons, how he was always engaged in something and always tinkering with something. He was just awesome and will be sincerely missed. Our sincere sympathies to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Love.
