WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Clark Dennis Klein Sr. of Kerrville on February 20, 2018, | ||
at the age of 80; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Kerrville to Walter and Minnie Leyendecker | ||
Klein on January 19, 1938, Clark Klein grew up with the | ||
companionship of three sisters, Marilyn, Yolanda, and Barbara; he | ||
attended Notre Dame Catholic School and later graduated from Tivy | ||
High School in 1956, before enlisting in the United States Army and | ||
serving in Germany for three years; after returning home, he spent | ||
more than two decades in the Texas National Guard, where he attained | ||
the rank of command sergeant major; he remained deeply proud of his | ||
military service throughout his life; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Klein enjoyed a civilian career with the | ||
U.S. Postal Service, working as a letter carrier in San Antonio and | ||
Austin and retiring in Kerrville as superintendent of postal | ||
operations; following his retirement, his passion for cars led him | ||
to serve as a driver for local car dealers, and he delighted in | ||
taking annual family trips to Europe, especially Germany and | ||
Ireland; and | ||
WHEREAS, Guided by a strong and abiding faith, Mr. Klein gave | ||
much of his time to the Knights of Columbus; he was a charter member | ||
of the Father Kemper Council and served the organization as Grand | ||
Knight, District Deputy, and Faithful Navigator of the Fourth | ||
Degree; he was also a longtime parishioner of Notre Dame Catholic | ||
Church and a volunteer for the Notre Dame rectory, and he served | ||
selflessly as a communion minister to the ill and homebound; | ||
moreover, he was a member of the Ingram school board as well as a | ||
graduate of the Kerrville Citizen Police Academy; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Klein was blessed with the love and support of | ||
his wife of 55 years, Karen Klein; he was the devoted father of | ||
three children, Clark, Kevin, and Christine, and he experienced the | ||
joy of welcoming into his family four grandsons, Joseph, Gabe, | ||
Samuel, and Jacob, and a great-grandson, Cole; and | ||
WHEREAS, While the passing of Clark Klein brings great sorrow | ||
to his loved ones, he leaves behind a legacy that will long be | ||
treasured by all those who held him dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Clark Dennis Klein Sr. | ||
and extend sincere sympathy to his relatives and friends; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Clark | ||
Dennis Klein Sr. |
