Dodd Junior “Rabbit” Kline, 86, of Winchester, VA passed away peacefully on Monday, December 14, 2020.

Dodd was born February 10, 1934 in Baker, WV, son of the late Todd and Blanche Kline. He graduated from Wardensville High School and attended Shepherd College. Dodd was a veteran of the US Army achieving the rank of Specialist 4, while serving overseas in Germany as a Combat Engineer. He earned the Army Good Conduct Medal along with Marksman and Sharpshooter Qualification Badges. At a very early age Dodd started driving trucks that led to a 43 year career of truck driving with Novick Transfer, Allegheny Freight Lines, Hemingway Transport, and Crown Cork and Seal. He was a member of Teamsters Local #29 and served as a Shop Steward. Dodd was a member of Mountain View Church of Christ, Moose Lodge, Elks Lodge, Eagles, VFW and American Legion. He was proud to be a native West Virginian where he farmed as a young boy developing a strong work ethic. “Rabbit”, as he was known to many, enjoyed the outdoors, traveling on numerous Schrock bus trips with family and friends, and storytelling of his younger years. He was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, WVU Mountaineers and NASCAR, as well as a huge FORD fan. Most of all Dodd loved and cherished his family.

He married Nancy Lichliter Borden on May 9, 1963 in Hagerstown, MD.
