John B. Kling, 66, of Hanover, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at UPMC Pinnacle Hanover. He was the loving husband of Carol J. (Baumgardner) Kling; together they would have celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary on July 11th.

Born August 8, 1956 in Bel Air, Maryland, he was the son of the late Clarence B. and Gene (Trump) Kling.

John was a proud terrapin graduate of the University of Maryland.  He had a passion for classic cars, especially his 1974 AMC Javelin, and was a member of the Potomac Ramblers Car Club.  John was a great friend and loved to spoil his family, earning him several fun nicknames like Mr. Belvedere and Grub Hubby.

In addition to his wife, John is survived by two daughters, Alicia Clingan and her husband Michael of Toston, MT, Amber Klinedinst and her husband Chad of York Springs; four grandchildren, Noah Klinedinst, Kaine Klinedinst, Aida Klinedinst, and Sophia Klinedinst. Mr. Kling is also survived by many loving extended family members and dear friends.
