  Freudenthal, Rolland E. age 93 of Edina. Reunited with his beloved wife, Florence; and dear son, John. Survived by daughters, Mary Jane (Bailey) Blethen and Karri (Eric) Hansen; daughter-in-law, Stephanie Freudenthal; 8 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren. Rollie graduated from Gibbon High School in 1933, and from the Minneapolis Business College in 1934. He married Florence Olson in 1937. For 34 years he worked in marketing, sales promotion and training for Brown & Bigelow in St. Paul. As a young man, Rollie played semi-professional baseball in the Southern Minny League, and was flattered to be given a tryout by the St. Louis Cardinals. Rollie participated in a variety of athletic-related activities outside his employment. He was President of the Minneapolis Figure Skating Club and was one of the founders of Little League baseball in Edina. He was also the official statistician for the Minnesota Golden Gopher football team for over 40 years. As a result, in 1984, Athletic Director Paul Giel made him an honorary member of the Gopher "M" Club. He also served as official statistician for the Minnesota Vikings. His love of baseball led him to the Minnesota Twins Press Box as the play by play summary writer for the Associated Press. A loving family man, Rollie took great pride in his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.

  • In the series of life, Tom Klement may not have won a lot of games but it's probably safe to say he was batting 500. His skills may have been limited, but what he had he used to the very best of his ability and played with gusto. He was an avid sports fan, reading the sports section of the newspaper from cover to cover. He knew all the stats, and was usually good for an argument regarding any of them at any given time. Like his beloved MN sports teams, Tom had a fan base with a complicated "hate-love" relationship. You hated to love him but you did it anyway, sitting in the stands for every one of his games, shaking your head at the dumb plays and cheering on the good ones. The feeling he could give you was like that of a grand-slam in the bottom of the 7th. Exciting as it was, the game wasn't over so you still needed to be ready for anything. He always kept it interesting and, whatever happened, his goofy expressions made it all worthwhile as we were rolling our eyes or laughing or both. Win or lose, playing hard and having fun was all that really mattered in the end. It was his love of the game that made him infectious. He was one of a kind, a special friend; and if he called you "friend", you can bet you were special too.
     
    On January 15, 2022 Tom played his final game of the series and won his wings. Our MVP, our lead-off man, our little buddy Tom, Kono, Klem, is now our Angel in the outfield. He was and always will be loved by many. He will be missed. We just hope he knew that.
    Here's to you, Tom, in that big stadium in the sky. Keep an eye on us and help us add a few more on the scoreboard once in a while, OK?
