Gary Kleim Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He had been employed at Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center for several years before his retirement. Gary was an avid hunter and fisherman. His love for hunting naturally evolved into a passion for taxidermy, allowing his to become a self-taught taxidermist. As he gained more experience in taxidermy, he became increasingly detail -oriented, striving for lifelike precision in every deer head he created. His hobby quickly gained recognition, as friends and community members admired his craftsmanship and realism of his work.
He is survived by his brother, Russell Kleim of Lafayette and his sister, Karen Ettinger of Hudson, Florida. Private cremation services have been entrusted to the Pinkel Funeral Home, 31 Bank Street (Route 23), Sussex. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.pinkelfuneralhome.com
