David Lyle Kline, 74, of La Porte City, died Thursday, October 2, 2008 at Allen Memorial Hospital. He was born May 26, 1934 in Waterloo, the son of Lyle Edward “Fritz” and Marie Wilder Kline. He married Patricia Mobley on February 14, 1959 in Louisville, KY.
He graduated from the University of Iowa and was an avid Hawkeye fan. David worked in various large cities throughout the U.S. as a group health insurance salesman, choosing to return to his beloved home state of Iowa in l982. He “retired” in December of 2002, though numerous organizations benefited from his volunteer work. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Waterloo, the church Finance Committee, La Porte City Lions Club, Waterloo Elks Club, Republican National Committee, Masonic Trowel Lodge #216 AF&AM, El Kahir Shrine , La Porte City Telephone Company Board and the La Porte City Historical Society.
