William "Bill" Franklin Klingel

Bill loved the Pittsburgh Steelers, good food, sitting in his recliner and watching TV. He was happiest when he was with his family, but even happier when he had his family and a fishing pole in his hand. Bill was a workaholic and was still working with Valiant at Womack Medical Center.

Bill is preceded in death by his son Donald Roy Klingel; his parents, Edward and Mary Green Klingel; and his brother, Edward L.

Decker, Kathleen Jackson and her husband, Howard W. Jackson Jr., and Bettyann Machin and her husband, Richard Machin; his partner, Janet Polk and her children, Tammy Wilson and her husband, Adriene Wilson, Benny Gonzales, and Joshua Polk and his wife, Corena Polk. He also leaves behind many grandchildren, including the youngest Chloe Wilson, who is 18 years old and never did anything wrong.
