Obituary
Charles Klumpp, 75, died Friday, February 25, 2011, in a local hospital.
Born in Iota, Louisiana, to Alphan Klumpp and Gladys Sensat, Mr. Klumpp was a native of Basile and lived for the past 30 years in Kinder. He lived his life to the fullest in every way. He was an entrepreneur, actively involved in many different types of businesses. Mr. Klumpp was in the salvage business and was an auctioneer for Charles Klumpp Auctions. He owned and operated Charles Klumpp Cheverolet in Kinder and was very proud to serve on the Board of Directors of First Bank located in both Eunice and Baton Rouge. In addition to all of his business pursuits, Mr. Klumpp derived his greatest satisfaction from being a rice farmer and cattleman. In his leisure time, he enjoyed listening to French music. Regardless of how busy he might have been, Mr. Klumpp always found time to help others, often donating his auctioneering talent and ability to help others in need through benefits for the sick or any church or community function.
