In Memoriam - Theodore Klein 1935-2020

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we write to you today about the passing of our friend, mentor and colleague Ted Klein.

Mr. Klein was an outstanding businessman and leader. His vision and business acumen served him well early in his life when he convinced his father to move away from the declining hardware business and embrace the burgeoning model railroad industry. His foresight built the foundation for the company that today is the premier source among the model railroading community for model railroad equipment and supplies.

Additionally, Mr. Klein always understood and appreciated the value of M.B. Klein’s employees, and knew that without their hard work, loyalty and support, his company could not have enjoyed such success. It was his fervent wish that M.B. Klein continue to serve as a leader in the model railroad community, and as a source of support for its employees.

We take that spirit and determination with us to ensure the continuity of M.B. Klein, Inc. now and into the future. We collectively offer our sincere condolences to his family and close friends and we thank you in advance for your continued support as we strive to perpetuate the great legacy of the Klein family.
