Red Klingensmith

1934-March 1, 2010

Red Klingensmith passed away on March 1, 2010 having bravely battled brain cancer. In the last few months, he was able to spend time with family and friends.   Red will be remembered for the extra effort he put forward to welcome new players into the league and always being ready to play, wherever or whenever. He managed teams, was a Sun City Board member and longtime member of the Guys and Gals. He traveled with the Sidewinders as well as other tournament teams. One of Red's other favorite pastimes was dancing. He and Barb used to put on quite a show square dancing. Until very recently, he was still dancin' up a storm at Joe Gallo's entertainment events. His laugh and twinkling smile will be missed. No public services are planned. Contributions in Red's name will be forwarded to Sun City Senior Softball Club and Angels in the Outfield.  Our condolences go to Barb and the family. 

Art Ortega recently had wrist surgery and will be sidelined for about 2 months ( K. Williams)

Sal Aprea had knee replacement surgery on March 2 and is recovering well.  On March 3, he was already sitting up in his chair and walking around some.  He is already starting therapy.  All our best for a speedy recovery!
