Ron Klieman Dies
On Monday night at about 10:00 PM, I received a call from Ron Klieman's wife, Charlotte, notifying me that he had succumbed to the battle he had been waging with cancer for the last year. He died in his own bed with his wife at his side, holding his hand. Services are planned for Thursday night at Gentry-Griffey Funeral Chapel in Fountain City, TN, at 7:00 PM. The family will receive friends from 5:00 to 7:00 PM Thursday before the service.

When a friend dies it is always sad. However, when the friend was someone like Ron, it's hard not to smile as you remember the way he enjoyed himself at our company parties, his sense of humor and his love of a good joke. I don't think it is disrespectful to smile in memory of a man who enjoyed life as Ron did.
