JOHN KLINGENSTEIN Obituary

KLINGENSTEIN--John.

The Rockefeller University deeply mourns the loss of our beloved friend John Klingenstein, a revered member of The Rockefeller University Council for thirty- four years. A true gentleman and a man of deep character, integrity, and compassion, John left the world a better place. With his cherished wife, Pat, also a member of The Rockefeller University Council, he embraced the efforts of Rockefeller investigators working at the frontiers of science and medicine. John will be remembered for his numerous philanthropic and pro bono activities. Under his leadership, the Esther A. and Joseph Klingenstein Fund greatly advanced neuroscience research through its vital support of scientists. John brought vision, generosity, astute judgment, and a belief in the promise of basic science to his service as a member of the Council and its Executive Committee. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Pat, to their children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchild, and to the entire Klingenstein family. Richard Lifton, President William Ford, Chair Russell Carson, Chair Emeritus Richard Furlaud, Chair Emeritus Torsten Wiesel, President Emeritus Charles Gilbert, Arthur and Janet Ross Professor

During my youth, the Klingenstein's were neighbors & wonderful family friends. John had an aura of honor, loyalty & trust. He was kind & considerate without expectation of reciprocity. He was a role model for us all.

To the Klingenstein Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
