David Klinkman, 1958-2021

Published on October 17, 2021

For those of you who were with SoAR when we supported NSL 2008 in Orangeburg, you will remember David Klinkman.

David single-handedly designed and constructed the main launch controller we used from 2008 until we purchased the Wilson F/X system.  The Wilson cost around $6k to give you an idea of the value David provided to SoAR.

David has not launched with us for a while due to family commitments….and sadly, cancer.

David passed away last week due to complications from the cancer he had defeated.  Funeral information.

David was a class act!  Jorge will have the controller open at the visitation so people can get an idea of just how capable David was (the inside is a work of art).
