Dr. Klein was also a fellow of the American Physical Society. At Penn, Dr. Klein was known as a dedicated teacher and was respected by his colleagues for his mind, his sound judgement, and his dry wit. A friend recalled that Dr. Klein once said that there were three kinds of recommendations that could go to another university about an applicant: good, bad, and good enough for you. This is a man whose life was physics. Not to the exclusion of other things. He was well-read, liked good companionship. But I am sure a day didnt go by that he did not think about unsolved problems and things he was working on, said Dr. David Balamuth, Penns dean of science and an experimental physicist.
