Herman Klein

My maternal grandfather, Herman Klein was a low key kind of guy. A florist by trade,he had a shop right under the EL in Jamaica when I was a young child. I spent several afternoons with him at his flower shop and he taught me a little about roses, which he was fond of, in particular. He and my grandmother Ada lived in a home in Bayside and later an apt. which they generously shared with my grandmother's two brothers and sister who were unmarried (and very close.) This was usual in the 1950-60's. What I remember most about my grandfather in his later years was that he was crazy about baseball, (I am assuming he was a Yankees fan.) I don't particularly remember the team because when I became a teenager in the 1960's it made me crazy as we only had one TV set and he would monopolize the TV room usually for a double header. He was also a chain smoker which was sort of a fact of life in those days. No one thought about second hand smoke. He was such a smoker that when he lay in an oxygen tent at the end of his life, he tried to bribe the nurses to bring him cigarettes! Of course that didn't work. He had a funny habit of trying to get a rise out of our brindle Boxer Babe. He would come up behind her and deeply and steadily growl. It always cracked me up, but rarely phased Babe. On the occasions when he would make her bark, he thought it was very funny.
