The Association of Rochester Police and Area Law Enforcement Retirees (ARPALER) sends condolences and prayers to the family of Lt. Klein, and we salute him for his service to his country and community. Rest in peace Brother.
You will be missed
Sorry for your loss Jerry was a new Sgt first boss on midnight in Goodman Section
My condolences to Jerry’s family. He was a good boss at RPD. On a nice afternoon he’d meet up with me and ask if I wanted to go flying in his plane. We went up several times and I enjoyed the times with him, on a windy day I remember landing sideways he did a good job landing.
May he Rest In Peace
For many years Jerry had been a regular member of our Thursday morning breakfasts where we discussed and solved world problems. Always a gentleman, he was a great boss and a proud Marine. We’ll miss you Jerry. Rest in peace.
Lieutenant,
Thank You for your leadership and friendship.
Pep Gonzalez and
Family…
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. May your memories bring you joy and peace.
Sincerely,
Mark and Suzie Ciluffo and family
The world has lost a true gentleman. As a boss he was first class, and even nicer as a person.
Always a gentleman and a good police officer, my thoughts and prayers are with Gerry’s family at this time (why always “around the holidays” I will never understand). Gary Birkahn, RPD-Retired.
We are so sorry for your loss. Gerry was a wonderful neighbor for over 40 years. He will be missed.

I lived down the street from his parents on Alphonse St. When he stopped to see them with his police car, he let the kids sit in the car and sometime gave us a ride. Prays to his family
I have found memories of Jerry, especially when the family would come to the cottage at Port Bay.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. Losing a parent and a sibling is always such a hard loss.
Hugs.
Just heard about Mr. Klein’s passing today from another friend from St. Andrew’s. I spent many hours in the Klein household on Lux. St. I have many good memories! We did cause some angst in those days but Gerry always knew how to deal with us in a constructive manner. My sympathies to Dan and the entire family. People like this help make us the good people we are today!
