He went to Muehlenberg College in Allentown, PA and then to Temple University in Philadelphia. He graduated 1951 (I believe). Our family almost moved to Rosco, but settled in Middletown, N.Y. instead. 1st house was at 25 Lake Avenue, then built a home at 5 Starhaven Avenue. First Dental office was above Lyons Drug Store on the corner where there is now a parking lot. Then moved to King Street (also on the next corner) on the 2nd floor. Then he purchased 2 Grove Street, Middletown, N.Y. Later, he had his own apartment in it.
He was Catholic and converted at marriage to Episcopalian, when he married on June 22, 1946 to Ginny. They had 7 children.
He was an avid tennis and golf player. He enjoyed playing the Piano. Enjoyed the computer.
He was a Dentist, Part owner of Redwood Tennis & Swim Club. He was an Inventor (tried to patent some ideas) and Bar Owner and Author. Member of Orange County Golf Club.
Newspaper article about World War II: the aftermath. Haunted by horrors of war--featured William Klink.
He had survived two years of intense combat as a light machine-gunner in Europe. He was field commissioned to 2nd lieutenant. He was with the 328th infantry, Company A, the 26th Yankee Division. It is my understanding that he started in Normandy Beach France and went thru into Germany (he did not start in England). He was not in the first wave at Normandy, but was after the first wave in. He was at Bastion and the Battle of the Bulge. And ended up as an overseer of a camp of displaced people in Austria (which was probably a concentration camp). He did not want to talk about it.
He did have two leaves and got to visit Milan Italy and Lucerne, Switzerland (which he loved).
When he came home from the war, he wrote and played a song on the piano about Lucerne.
He could play any song on the piano that he heard, but couldn't read a music note on paper.
He died 11 months after being diagnosed with acute leukemia Non-Lymphocytic with Bacterial Pheumonia as primary cause of death. He had had a heart attack several years before.
The whole family still misses him so.
We will remember many fun times together. but will always cherish his night to cook western egg sandwiches on Sunday night and then we got to eat it in front of the TV and watch Ed Sullivan. (only night that that was allowed).
Thanks Dad.
