We Remember
KLEIN, Engelhardt
November 4, 1930 — December 4, 2022
Engelhardt Klein was born in Romania on November 4, 1930. He passed away December 4, 2022 at the age of 92, after a short battle with cancer.
He came to Canada in 1954 to begin a new life. He married Helen Speigel on January 23, 1954. They were blessed with a son, Adrian Barry (now deceased), and a daughter Corina Lee.
Engelhardt was a man of many traits and the life of any party. When asked how he was feeling, he would say “Miserable!”. He was quite a jokester.
He is survived by his loving wife Helen; daughter Corina; son-in-law Paul; daughter-in-law Pin; grandsons Austin and Nathan; sisters Erna and Edith, both in Germany; sisters-in-law Matilda Meyer and Mona Speigel; brother-in-law Frank Speigel; and nieces and nephews.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, January 5, 2023, at 1:00 pm, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

My deepest condolences to you, Helen and your family. Englehardt always mention you whenever we talked and said how appreciative he was of you as his partner. He will be missed by many in our community. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time of your life.
Dear Helen; So sorry to read of Engelhardt’s passing. We always enjoyed chatting with him when we lived down the street from you at Sandstone. He had a great sense of humour and always a twinkle in his eyes, except when he was fretting over his geraniums in the spring. Our condolences to you and the family.
Tante Helen, I am so sorry for your loss. I have a lot of memories from when I was a child and all the new years parties at mom and dad’s. Sending hugs
