Norman L. Klinedinst

Norman L. Klinedinst, 83, formerly of the Swan Lake area in Tyner, passed away on Wednesday morning, October 1st, in his home.
Born in his family home in Tyner, Indiana, Norm was the son of Ira and Vera Catherine (Powell) Klinedinst. He graduated from Tyner High School with the class of 1949, being a Tyner star as he played basketball and softball during high school.
On January 15, 1950, Norm married Eileen June Stoneburner at their home in Tyner. To this union three girls were born: Sharon, Vicki and Laurie.
Norm worked for Air Products in South Bend as a truck driver for 25 years and then as a filler operator in the plant for five years. He retired in 1993.
He was a member of the Tyner Odd Fellows Lodge No. 821, the Plymouth Moose Lodge No. 741 and attended Tyner United Methodist Church with his wife. With a dry sense of humor, Norm was quite the character and cherished time with his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed dancing and the company of a card club for over 35 years. Fishing was his passion and was known to out fish the likes of anyone. Special times were experienced by family and friends on annual camping trips to Bear Track Lake in Wisconsin.
