Louisville, Kentucky
KLEIN, DONALD E. JR., 54, passed away Saturday, April 14, 2012 doing what he loved most, piloting his Lancair, N235MW.
He was a real estate developer and investor, a member of AOPA and the Aviation Breakfast Bunch. He was a softball pitcher at Frazier Field and an ice hockey referee. Don's passions were planes, cars, motorcycles, playing the piano, and most of all people.
Don was preceded in death by his father, Donald E. Klein, Sr.
He is survived by his long term love and fiancé, Michelle Moore; mother, Alice Klein; sisters, Fran Klein, Kathy Klein and Betsy Cobb (Chris); and nieces and nephews, Dylan (Tashi), Nani, Sarah, Griffin, Ian and Amber.
His memorial service will be at 6 p.m. Friday, April 20, 2012 at Highlands Family-Owned Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Rd. with burial at Cave Hill Cemetery at noon Saturday. Visitation will be from 2 p.m. until the time of service Friday at Highlands.
Don was and always will be remembered by me as a most sincere and caring soul. Always did he have a smile or laugh for us. Don, you will be sorely missed my friend. To the family and friends who know me, and to those who may not: We have lost a great man, but heaven has attained.
