Born on November 18, 1944, to Sidney and Regina Klein, Jerry lived a full and vibrant life. He was a proud U.S. Army veteran, a dedicated Cleveland sports fan, and a man of many talents. Whether rolling a perfect 300 at the bowling alley, fixing anything as a skilled handyman, or setting off on a spontaneous road trip, Jerry embraced life with energy, curiosity, and joy. He also enjoyed visiting the casino, always up for a game, good conversation, and time well spent with family and friends.
Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Bonnye Klein, and his devoted children, Joel Klein (Sherry) and Rochelle Klein (Jennifer Gold). He was a cherished brother to Stanley Klein (Suzann) and Marc Klein (Marla), and a treasured uncle to many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his dear sister-in-law, Ellen Liss, and brother-in-law, James Liss.
