Jim Klobuchar, longtime Star Tribune columnist and adventurer, dies at 93 The father of Sen. Amy Klobuchar spent more than four decades in journalism. May 12, 2021 2:27pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Jim Klobuchar, an intrepid son of the Iron Range who with grace and puckish wit chronicled the lives of ordinary and fabled Minnesotans as a longtime columnist for the Star Tribune, died Wednesday at the Emerald Crest care facility in Burnsville. He was 93.
From 1961, when he left the Associated Press to work for the Minneapolis Tribune, until his retirement in 1995, Klobuchar trained an amused and perceptive eye every week on the state s culture, sports and politics. His energetic exploits both in and out of the newsroom made his name a household word in Minnesota long before he became known as the father of the state s senior U.S. senator.
