Dr. Robert Klein, Retired Dentist, passed away peacefully, November 30, 2021, at home in Maricopa, AZ. His beloved wife, Colleen, by his side.
Bob was born November 23, 1943, in Dayton Ohio, to William and Beatrice Klein. He graduated from Colonel White High School in 1961, then went to The Ohio State University, graduating in 1965. He then went on to graduate from Dental School at Ohio State University in 1968. After being in the United States Air Force, stationed in the Philippines, he returned to Columbus, Ohio, to set up his Dental Practice.  He also, taught at the Dental School at Ohio State for 40 years.  I think he was most proud of that! He was an avid Buckeye fan, wearing scarlet and gray, whenever he could. He loved tailgating and attending all home games and it was said, he never, ever, set foot in the Michigan Wolverines stadium! He could even sing the OSU fight song in his sleep! He also loved attending all of the yearly dental conventions, meeting many  friends along the way.  Bob, never knew a stranger, he was loved by all.   He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Colleen Klein. Two sons, Noah Klein(wife Kailyn), Ian Klein. Daughter, Megan Pepper-Siegenbrink (husband Tobias). Four grandchildren, Mckenna, Clara, Cooper and Blake. Two brothers, Denis Klein (wife Marilyn), Richard Klein(wife Judith), and many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of life will be held in January 2022.
