Dr. Milton W. Kline

Dr. Milton W. Kline, 94, died January 29, 2022 in his home at Jewish Healthcare Center in Worcester, MA.  He was born December 27, 1927 in Boston, MA the son of the late Joseph and Goldie Kline.  Milton was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Helen, his son Thomas Kline, and brother David Kline.  He leaves behind his daughter, Sue Kline of Newton, MA, son Dan Kline and his wife Norine of Westborough, MA, his beloved granddaughters Caitlyn and Sarah Kline, his sister-in-law Lorrie Kaitz of Maryland and cousin David Kline of Washington, DC.  Milton attended Lynn Classical High and then the University of Maine where he found his love of chemistry.  He received his PhD from Purdue University and began his career working for Borden Chemical in Leominster, MA.  The Korean War interrupted his work, and he was drafted and stationed in Colorado where he met Helen. Once his service ended, he continued his career with Borden in Leominster where they settled, raised their family and became  involved in the Jewish community.  He spent many years on the board of trustees and served as the president of Congregation Agudat Achim. He was still involved with the synagogue and his poker game buddies until he moved to Worcester in 2017. Milton was an avid reader, golfer, amateur genealogist, and always enjoyed his cigars. The family wishes to give special thanks to the staff at Jewish Healthcare Center who took loving care of him.  We are forever grateful for that gift.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to Congregation Agudat Achim in Leominster, JCAM, MA Down Syndrome Congress, or the charity of your choice.
