Richard Kleinhenz Passing
It is with regrets that I inform you of the passing of Richard Kleinhenz. Rich passed away on June 20th after a long struggle with multiple myeloma. He is survived by his wife Linda and a son Robby. Rich was a Phd in Physics and spent much of his career working for iBM in silicone wafer design. Later in his life, he became interested in woodturning and in particular pen turning. He was the driver in founding of the Pen Makers Guild and spent many years guiding it through its growth. In addition to the many pen designs that he created to sell at the different pen shows around the country, he authored a book on pen turning that is widely read and acclaimed.
Best,
Kurt
