Klein is survived by his wife, Janet, his children Ellen and Stephen, his granddaughter Anna and her husband, John, and his great-grandchildren Oscar and Miriam.

NATPE chairman Andy Kaplan commented, “Lew was the soul and inspiration for NATPE and was tireless in his work and support of both NATPE and the NATPE Foundation, which he founded and served as president until his passing.”
