George Klein: Volunteer, Musician & Comedian Celebrates 100th Birthday

By Elise Phillips Margulis oseland resident George Klein resided in Livingston most of his life and volunteered for many wonderful causes. He turned 100 on February 11th and celebrated with two big parties: one with fellow AARP members at Livingston’s Senior/Community Center and again dining and dancing with his family and friends at The Hanover Manor. Klein, who is known for his “true stories,” humor and charisma, was born in Newark in 1920 and graduated from West Side High school. He served in the Navy during WWII. Klein met his future wife, Doris, while riding horses and was an equestrian for many years. He and Doris married after the war and settled in Livingston. He recalled, with a chuckle, that they bought a new house for $16,000. Klein has three adult sons, each of whom visits him once a week. He also has four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

The group of “retired gentlemen” meets weekly to organize activities, educational/motivational speaking events, trips, parties, charitable work and more. The Old Guard has many sub-clubs including a Poetry Club, Financial Club, Bridge Club and more. Klein loves to entertain people and is a singer in the Livingtones, a Glee Club formed by the AARP in 2011. The Livingtones visit assisted living facilities, nursing homes, veterans and other places to sing and spread joy. They also perform at events like Livingston’s Intergenerational Prom.
