He was born on June 2, 1919, the son of Spencer and Mary Ellen (Garner) Klippert on the Saskatchewan Canada Prairie. Along with his parents and two brothers, George and Ross, they farmed the land by depending on each other through hard work and being responsible for themselves. Because of this experience, he was able to provide for his own family later on in life through dedication and sacrifice.
He proudly served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Yukon during World War II. In 1946, Dad met the love of his life, Helen M. Roseke at dance in Edmonton, Alberta. Mom and Dad were united in marriage on July 16, 1947. After they were married, they moved to Hanover, Illinois and later moved to Savanna in 1962. Mom and Dad enjoyed 67 years of marriage until Mom's passing on June 28, 2014.
Dad worked at Savanna Fabricators and later for the Chrysler Assembly Plant in Belvidere, Illinois. Mom and Dad both enjoyed dancing, bowling, golfing, gardening, and cross-country skiing in the Palisades Park. They also enjoyed taking family trips to Canada, camping along the way.
Dad will be dearly missed by his three sons, Brian (Christine) Klippert of Round Lake Beach, Illinois, Scott Klippert (Sharon) of Lake Stevens, Washington and Dean Klippert of Dallas, Texas; and three grandchildren, Shane, Hailey, and Brian Jeffrey Klippert. Earl is preceded in death by his wife, Helen; and two brothers, Ross and George Klippert.
My two brothers and I will always cherish the time spent growing up in Savanna with a father and mother whose loving dedication gave us so much.
Loyal, honorable, hardworking, and loving. That was our Dad.
