      Deceased Name: Robert A. 'Pinky' Kline
      Robert A. "Pinky" Kline , of Oden, passed away on April 4, 2012, after a brave battle with lung cancer.

      Robert was born on May 2, 1928, in Petoskey, to Albert and Anna (Daniels) Kline . He attended St. Francis School and was a speed skater in his younger days.

      He joined the Army in 1950 and spent time in Texas and Germany and was a member of the Petoskey DAV Chapter 13.

      In 1961, he married Mary A. Glados of Charlevoix, and they made their home in Oden, where he owned Kline 's Painting Service.

      Bob was a great hunter and fisherman and loved anything in the outdoors. He loved going to Canada for moose and bear hunting and got his fair share of both and also loved any kind of ice fishing and trout fishing.

      Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Mary; a stepson, George Loomis of Harbor Springs; stepgreat-grandchildren, Mariah and Michael Loomis of Glide, Ore.; one sister-in-law, Thelma Kline of Petoskey; and many nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.

      Bob was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Joseph Kline and Lawrence Kline ; four sisters, Agnes Ecker, Louise Kline , Dorothy Batterbee and Helen Salisz; and one stepgrandson, Nate Loomis.

      Bob lived his life his way, one day at a time and enjoyed every one of them, never wanting to be the best only wanting to do his best; may he now rest in peace with God.

      A service celebrating Bob's life will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 9, at the Stone Funeral Home in Petoskey with the Rev. Michael Haney, OFM, officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the time of service on Monday at the funeral home.
      Memorial donations may be directed to Hospice of Little Traverse Bay.
