Walter David Klein, retired Major, USAF was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. He loved his country and his family. He was preceded in death by his father, the Rev Dr Walter K Klein and mother Wilhelmina C Klein, a sister Martha Klein Krauth, 3 brothers (Ralph, Charles and Paul) and his son David. He is survived by 2 daughters, Susan and KaraLee.  After college he served in the USAF as a Navigator Bombardier inB-52s in the Korean War and in post war Germany where he met and married his first wife Gerda.  Returning to the states he was stationed at Bunker Hill (Grissom) AFB, and then in Little Rock for his final assignment. After his AF retirement he worked for 30 years for the US postal service in North Little Rock and married his second wife Lucy, residing at their home until his death.  He was my favorite Uncle and a man I always looked up to as a caring, loving person, a Patriot, and Christian.  Uncle Walt, I hope you are once again united with family in eternal life. I will miss you and always remember you. Thank you for your service and for being my loving and favorite Uncle.  Debbie

Elizabeth and I were talking about Uncle Walt over dinner and decided to give him a call to find out his number was disconnected.  So looked up online to find out of his passing.   So VERY SAD and sorry to hear of your loss, Susan and Cara Lee.  I lost Dad (Ernest Krauth) last June.   Walt was the last of  that generation in our family on the Klein (and Krauth) side and we miss him.  Please contact me if there is a memorial service or other news.   With love, Debbie (Krauth) Ballinger


I am so sad to hear the news of my cousin Wally's passing. He is the last of my first cousins on the Klein side of the family so this is doubly sad. I have so many happy memories from our earlier days. My condolences and love to Susan, Kara and their families.
