May 8, 1928 - April 3, 2015
John Klimko Sr. was born on May 8, 1928 and went to be with the Lord on April 3, 2015.
John loved life and he loved people. He enjoyed working at Chance-Vaught, Ling-Tempco-Vaught, and Texas Instruments. After retiring from TI, he taught for a number of years at Dallas Christian School. Through all of his jobs, John not only enjoyed his work, but he enjoyed the people he worked with. Even later in life, John enjoyed visiting with people at any shopping mall he was at! There were truly few people who were a stranger to him!
John is survived by his beloved wife, Gin, daughter Regina and her husband Bruce from Amherst, NH, son John and his wife Liz from Valdosta, GA, son Frank of Farmersville, TX, grandsons Michael and Alex, granddaughters Katie and Carly, as well as his extended family and many other friends who loved him. John is predeceased by his son, Ralph, from Farmersville, TX, in 2014.
A memorial service will be held on April 23, 2015 at 2:00pm at the Highland Oaks Church of Christ in Dallas, TX.

I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had.
