Robert Bob Kling of Roselle was known for being frugal, except when it came to surprising those close to him with special gifts.
On Wednesday, Kling was celebrated by family and friends and saluted for his bequests totaling $1.1 million to institutions he loved in the village where he lived.
Kling died Feb. 10 of COVID-19-related symptoms at age 93. He was never married and had no children.
Kling left $500,000 to the Roselle Park District, $250,000 to the Roselle Public Library Foundation, $250,000 to the Roselle History Museum, and $100,000 to the Bridge Communities (Stepping Stones).
Kling also donated about $400,000 to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
