After celebrating 69 years of marriage, Burt is survived by his wife, Miriam Klein, as well as his three sons, Jeffrey (Harriet) Klein of New York City, NY, Michael (Janene) Klein of Wexford, and David (Sharon) Klein of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and his grandchildren Elizabeth, Jacob, Julian, Anna and Andrew Klein. As all of his friends knew, Burt had a passion for baking. You were truly fortunate if you were one of the few to receive one of Burt’s challahs for the High Holidays. His Flourless Chocolate Torte was legendary. His baking will be sorely missed. Private graveside service took place Tuesday, January 12, 2021 in the Tree of Life, Elrod Cemetery, Versailles.
