This unwelcome news came across my Facebook feed last night.
I recall Klug as a long-time SoTCW member, a contributor to the Journal and as someone who would stop by for a chat at the end of each Partizan show where we ran a game.

So sad
I`d known him for yrs - but we never actually met
We communicated first be letter, later emails during my time as editor of the SOTCW Journal. We swapped photos of our models, chatted about all sorts of odd stuff - a lovely guy
When i finally quit as editor, he sent me a copy "By Tank" by Ken Tout with a personal note scribbled inside the cover thanking me for my time and efforts - i was really touched

I have known Klug since I moved to Newark in the mid 80’s, a sad loss indeed of a fellow gamer of many a cool game, and a trusted and valued bring and buyer. RIP.

Thanks Richard for the link.
Its a lovely, description (I assume by a friend of a friend within Newark Irregulars).
Showing my ignorance: what is the game described as MIA?
Its good to remember our lost friends, and for strangers like me to hear how another person remembers their friend. Its a touching part of humanity in our troubled times.

MIA was the name of Klug’s home brewed rules, “Missing in Action” which we used in his games.
