It's always a little disconcerting when cause of death isn't given for a 52 year old former NFL player. My brain goes right there. I'm sure some of yours do as well.
RIP Chuck.

Yep. Unfortunately that’s the first thing that came to my mind.
R.I.P. Chuck!!! May you rest in eternal peace!!! Klingbeil was a typical Shula find. A gem who played the game the right way. Loved him as a player and remember him well.

One of the very few players who played for both my football teams. Of course the dolphins and he was a part of the grey cup winning 1989 Saskatchewan roughriders in the CFL. RIP.

The epitome of the old-school blue-collar grinder!

ChuckKLINGBEIL.... I've always thought that was a cool user name. Dig your avatar too!
Me on a hike in the Hudson Valley two years and 15 pounds ago, wearing my 99 jersey. I like to wear my Dolphins jerseys when hiking, if only because I figure it will be easier to spot my corpse in the woods if I take a wrong step.

Houghton: Charles E. “Chuck” Klingbeil, 52, of Houghton, passed away on Tuesday morning, June 19, 2018 in Chicago while traveling back to the Copper Country. He died as the result of an apparent heart condition.
The obituary I saw read:
"Houghton: Charles E. “Chuck” Klingbeil, 52, of Houghton, passed away on Tuesday morning, June 19, 2018 in Chicago while traveling back to the Copper Country. He died as the result of an apparent heart condition." (Ed: Whoops - BigNasty beat me to it.)

I suppose it's cold comfort if his death is of "natural causes", but I do hope that's true. I actually remember first watching him on a cold winter day in Regina in 1989. He was an absolute beast in the middle of that D-line. Another guy who had to prove himself in Canada first. RIP Chuck.
