Henry is preceded in death by his father Theodore Klein and mother Celia Rabinowitz Klein, and Sister Marilynn Wolyn. Henry (Hank) was proud of his Jewish Heritage and then becoming a Christian and becoming a completed Jew in Christ in 1996. Their love for Christ exemplified itself with Hank and his wife Kathleen’s expressive sign language music ministry and enjoyed signing worship music in churches, nursing homes, prisons, & special events throughout Arkansas and Arizona. Hank and his wife Kathleen were best friends, business partners & entrepreneurs, ministry partners, fishing buddies, and enjoyed traveling life together. They lived in Arkansas for 8 years but missed their children and grandchildren in Arizona so much; they moved back and shared their lives for the last 3 years with them. Amongst many of his talents, Hank was a C.M.C. (consultant), public speaker, computer programmer, teacher, and an amazing organizer. He was one of those dream husbands who always picked up after himself and never thought twice about helping out around the house. Hank is survived by his loving wife of 17 years Kathleen Klein, his sons Michael Klein of Snohomish, WA, Rustin (Evette) Klein of Snohomish, WA, Joshua (Jessica) Klein of Prescott Valley, AZ, Jason (Elizabeth) Klein of Prescott Valley, AZ, and Jared Klein (Natasha) of Kingman, AZ, stepson Chip (Jenni)Davenport of Prescott, AZ, step-daughter Tammy Albertsman of Mesa, AZ. He is the proud grandfather of 14 grandchildren and 2 new ones on the way. Henry was a member of the Verde Baptist Church in Cottonwood, AZ. He was very proud of his many family members, friends, and service to his country in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam. Hank had a way of making people feel comfortable and valued through his incredible humor and love of life. That is his legacy.
