Claude G. Kisling of Atwood died December 18, 2002, at the Good Samaritan Center in Atwood, Kansas. He was born October 11, 1915 in Rawlins County, Kansas, the only son of Charles and Lydia Kisling. After graduating from high school, he joined his father in farming, a partnership that lasted until his father's health failed.
He was united in marriage to Irene Leebrick April 27, 1939 and to this union one daughter, Diane Kathleen, was born. They began their married life on a farm in Nebraska, just across the border from Kansas. A few years later, they moved to his home place where they resided until retiring and moving to Atwood in 1974.
Claude was a skilled mechanic and not only kept his own machinery in good running order, but was always ready to help his neighbors with their machinery. He was also a fine carpenter who designed and built an addition to his farm home as well as his home in town. He also helped build the educational building at his church in McDonald and helped with cabinet work at the hospital in Atwood.
He was a member of the Federated Church in McDonald and served on the church board for a number of years. He was always interested in his community and serve don the school board, the hospital board and on the committee of the ASCS, where he became acquainted with most of the farmers in Rawlins County.
He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. While the grandchildren were still quite young, he began taking the whole family on summer vacations to various parts of the U.S. and Canada, and when the grandchildren were teenagers, a trip to Europe. He and Irene had enjoyed lots of trips to various parts of the U.S., Old Mexico and Canada as well as trips to Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries.
After retiring and moving to Atwood, he became the ambulance director and did what he loved to do - help the sick and injured. He went to K.U. Medical Center and trained to be an instructor-coordinator. He taught EMT classes and also worked on the state level giving tests to EMTs. Claude was happiest when he could be of service to those around him and this period of his life gave him plenty of opportunity for this.
Those who survive him are his wife, Irene, of the home; daughter, Diane and her husband, Ron Geurin; two grandchildren, Michelle Hahn and her husband, Mark and Brian Geurin; sister-in-law, Lucille Denny; brother -in-law, Wilbur Leebrick and wife, Virginia; nieces and nephews; and other relatives and friends.
Those who preceded him in death were his parents; his sister, Dorothy Foster; brother-in-law, Vic Foster; and two nieces, Ann Foster Hein and Linda Leebrick. In the last few years of his life as he lived with Parkinson's disease, he looked forward to his heavenly inheritance and spent Christmas in heaven this year.
Funeral services were held December 21 from the Federated Church in McDonald with Pastor Gregory Moyer officiating. Burial was in Atwood Fairview Cemetery.
The family suggests memorials to Federated Church or Atwood Second Century Fund.
Williams Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I've had my first Christmas in Heaven,
A glorious, wonderful day!
I stood with the saints of the ages,
Who found Christ the Truth and the Way.

I sang with the Heavenly choir;
Just think! I, who longed so to sing!
And O, what celestial music
We brought to our Savior and King!

We sang the glad songs of redemption
How Jesus to Bethlehem came,
And how they had called His Name Jesus,
That all might be saved through His name.

We sang once again with the angels,
The song that they sang that blessed morn,
When shepherds first heard the glad story
\that Jesus, the Savior was born.

O, darling, I wish you had been here.
No Christmas on earth could compare
With all the rapture and glory
We witnessed in Heaven so fair.

You know how I always loved Christmas;
It seemed such a wonderful day,
With all of my loved ones around me,
The children so happy and gay.

Yes, now I can see why I loved it.
And O, what a joy it will be
When you and my loved ones are with me,
To share in the glories I see.

So dear ones on earth, here's my greeting;
Look up till the day dawn appears,
And O, what a Christmas awaits us
Beyond all the parting and tears!
