My deepest sympathy to the Klein family as well as to his fiance Faith. I worked with Kerry for many years with Phil Feo and appreciated greatly is sense of humor and his positive outlook on just about everything we had to endure in dealing with a very stressful workload. So sorry to hear about such a great person passing on. Perhaps know he is in a better place and at peace.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the Klein family on their loss of Kerry. I am sorry that I will not be in town to pay my respects in person. I played trumpet in jazz bands from time to time years ago with Kerry, and knew his brother Kevin in high school.I respected his talent and enjoyed his wit. It is a shame he left us so soon.

So sad and sorry to see you go, Kerry. You were a fine player and you will be missed. We all have so many great memories of the shows, and of working together with you.

KERRY, YOU PLAYED FOR ME WHILE SUBBING OUT AT ANOTHER JOB, AT A TIME WHEN THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME. I NEVER FORGOT THAT FAVOR. I STILL HAVE THOSE KERRY KLEIN ARRANGEMENTS, BET THEY'LL BE WORTH A FORTUNE NOW!

YOU WERE ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE ONSTAGE WITH, A REAL PRO.

I STILL TELL SOME OF YOUR JOKES, AND THEY'RE STILL FUNNY.

WHEN I AM ON STAGE I WILL THINK OF SOME OF OUR TIMES TOGETHER PERFORMING. SO SEE, YOU'LL BE RIGHT THERE WITH ME. SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE.

TILL NEXT TIME,

KEITH WAARICH

I hadn't seen Kerry in many years, but he will always be remembered as one of my good friends that I shared high school, and music with.
