Edward J. Klein

This popped up on my facebook memories today. What great memories I have of being his pastor and friend. Pass the doughnuts please!

We will miss our friend and the old time discussions of our youth and military times, but especially the talks about our heritage and all the experiences that Ed and I had. He was a hard worker and a truly good friend. Our condolences to his family.

My Deepest Sympathy to the Klein family. We really enjoyed Ed in our painting classes.

You're in my prayers.

Wes & Mildred:

My condolences to you and the family. I'll miss Ed's smile and wave as he would pass by.

When I was a little girl, my mom and I would always stop at Klein's Bakery on our way home from visiting my grandmother, who lived in the south bottom. Years later, I met Ed through my uncle, who told Ed I would love tickets to the NU football games. Ed got me tickets for years until my name was picked from the football lottery. Sometimes on football Saturdays Ed would stop by my uncle's place and say hello. I don't think Ed ever met a stranger.

Ed was a good friend, neighbor, and landlord. We enjoyed his stories about his trips, especially his trip across Europe into Russia.
We will always remember him driving in with his little red car and handing us some bread, runzas, or brownies that he had made. He was very considerate. Every time he saw us, he would ask how our family was doing. We will miss him.

Our deepest sympathy to the Klein family. Ed was a very important part of my life. He was Uncle Ed to me for many years. A memory I shared with him not too long ago, was that on my 7th birthday he brought me a "real" birthday cake (not a homemade one) What a special gift that was too me! Thru the years Ed has joined our family for many special family occaisions and dinners. We so enjoyed his company and contributions to each of those special times. The last dinner with Ed in February was of...
