Walter J. Klein

Hi, Betsy. I will never forget either your mom or dad. I have so many wonderful memories of visiting with Art and Rho...always was amazed at your very modernistic home. We also shared time when they had the beach condo and the beach hut. Love and miss them and you.

I first met Walter when I was in Graduate school in Charlotte around 2005. I had read up on Freemasonry for years and had written to him via the Lodge web site. He was a very kind, humble, generous and down to earth soul. He invited me to his house and treated me out for lunch. We spoke for weeks as I had many questions and concerns about Freemasonry. Finally one day I requested him to become a Mason and he agreed to help me with the process. Over the years we kept in touch Via email,...

To Richard, Robert, Kathy, Betsy and the entire Klein family - my sincerest condolences for the loss of your father. Not a day goes by that I don't remember or hear myself repeating something I learned about filmmaking during my time at Walter J. Klein Company, Ltd. I can hardly watch a program without hearing Walter in my head, urging the cinematographer to get more closeups or fussing over the male actors' apparel (the cuffs are too long!) It astonishes me now how nothing seemed too...

I was a teenager when meeting Mr. Klein in the 1950's but still remember his positive attitude and his interest in my opinion. He was a very unique and intelligent man who will be missed. My sympathy goes to his family.

Condolences and my deepest sympathies to the Klein family on the passing of a truly great man and a phenomenal human being. May he rest in peace. May he be basking in God's glory in Gan Eden with his spouse, Elizabeth who left this world before him. May his memory be a blessing to his entire family.

I first heard of Walter at my first IQ Conference in 1986 and had the opportunity to correspond with him via email several years later. His messages echoed his passion for IQ. Being the recipient of the Walter Klein Award at the IQ Conference in Iceland in 2014 remains as one of the most memorable moments in my life.

Without knowing him personally, I am profoundly grateful to Walter Klein for launching IQ and for giving to IQ the spirit we all appreciate so much.
I hope his last moments were peaceful and that he is now in peace.
Thank you so much,

I knew Walter through IQ, and meet him at the New Jersey conference. His bright mind, and passion for sharing the good that film and stories can do inspired us all. You will be missed but never forgotten.
