Ronald Klein
Ronald Oscar Klein (November 8, 1945 – May 25, 2026) of Sharon, Massachusetts and Southboro Massachusetts passed peacefully at home after a long illness.
Beloved son of Aenne and Ludwig Klein. Devoted husband of Sheryl (Rosoff) Klein for over 53 years. Cherished father of Karen (Klein) Steinberg and her husband Michael of Ashland, Massachusetts and Scott Jason Klein of New York City. Proud and loving Poppy to Chloe and Joshua.
Ron was an only child and saw his wife’s family as his own – he was the dear brother-in-law of Sharman Rosen, and predeceased by Larry Rosen and Gretchen and Ronald Rosoff. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends from childhood, Sharon, and his condo community.
Ron was born in Woonsocket, RI and attended Classical High school and then Brown University and Wharton school of Business. He enjoyed an esteemed 40 year career as an actuary at Sun Life Financial in Wellesley.
He was an avid Bridge player and enjoyed travel, lobster rolls, fried clams, ice cream, watching and attending Red Sox games and theatre. He and his wife were avid cruisers for many years with dear friends and he recently traveled to Philadelphia for a long awaited elite bridge tournament, of which he was so proud.
A highlight of his life was attending his grandchildren’s sports, dance recitals, graduations, and being present for all their milestones big and small.
Ron was a wonderful, good natured and gregarious person who could speak intelligently about anything, made friends with everyone, and always had a kind word to say. Even in his declining health he played Bridge and watched his favorite shows and tried to enjoy life as much as he could.
He set a lasting example of dignity, kindness, and optimism, and all who knew him will carry his memory with love.
Funeral service Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 9:30 am at Temple Beth Am, 300 Pleasant St., Framingham, MA. Interment to follow at Crawford Street Memorial Park, 776 Baker St., West Roxbury, MA.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations in Ron’s memory to Tufts Medical Center, Hematology Oncology Unit, South Building, 8th Floor, 860 Washington St, Boston, Massachusetts 02111.
