Philip Lewis Klein of The Dalles passed away December 29, 2022.
Philip was born April 15, 1952 in Ontario, Oregon to Lewis and Esther (Jensen) Klein, both of whom predeceased him. He was the eldest of five children - Jean, Carol, Dennis and John.
Philip attended Oregon State University to become a wildlife biologist, but took a woodworking class and discovered his true passion. He went on to become a master craftsman and cabinet maker.
In 1972 Philip married Pamela Lichens, and later divorced. They had two daughters, Kari and Sarah who survive him. Philip has three grandchildren, Rowan, Soren and Seth. He is also survived by six nieces and nephews, six grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and two great-grand nieces.
