Dear Linda this is Robyn rosenblum I was VERY saddened and shocked when I saw Denis's obituary  my deepest sympathy for you and concerning your nephew which I also saw you know how I felt about him when we were young I know you were very close and he and Joel were very good to you we did go out occasionally in the 70's and stayed in touch every 10 years or so and he took me sailing once after I got back from 5 years in Australia in the 80s  I saw him at my aunt and uncle's and my dad's funerals who were his clients he was supposed to bring you to the lunch for my father

I was a friend and client of Denis for almost 10 years. Such a special person with an incredible intellect. I will miss you so much. RIP my friend.

What a loss! I was about to recommend Denis to another 90-year-old when I came across this memorial. Denis was more than my lawyer in during the 1980's and 90's. In difficult times, he was advisor, enabler, friend and one of those rare professionals. If 95% of lawyers feel that reciting "Why not..." is the extent of their legal responsibility, Denis approach was "How so....". Our condolence to his widow and family at this sad moment.

In 1946, my family moved into an apartment building in west Rogers
Park on Chicago's north side.  The Kleinfeld family lived in that same
building on Talman  Avenue.  Dennis's mother, Helen, and my mother
became best friends for the rest of their lives.   If there were times
when I wasn't in touch with Dennis, my mother would give me the updates on his accomplishments.  I remember his constant positive
spirit; and how he would be there for you when you needed him.

Denis was my work out partner, handball partner, and my law partner when we opened our first office together.  Too many years passed, until we recently reconnected.  It was as if we never parted ways.  His friendship was priceless, he and I also understood family matters.  Good by my friend.

I met Denis in Chicago in 1969 when I was working in the federal courts and he came in to file something. I loved his sense of humor, and we soon became good friends. He was also one of my husband's best friends. When we were young and living in Chicago, we had many good times together with Denis, Paul Seely and Alwin Tamosius.  In 1983, we moved to Texas, but we remained friends with Denis. The memory I'll share here tells what a caring friend Denis really was. In October 1986, my mother died. Denis heard about it, and he called me, at my sister's house in Wisconsin, to express his condolences. This was pre cell phones, so he had to do quite a bit of work to track me down and get my sister's number, but he did it. That meant so much to me. We talked for just a few minutes, but his call helped so much. He was a good man, and a loyal friend.

My friend and colleague Dennis Kleinfeld was a visionary tax & asset protection planning attorney. He was a rare combination of technical and innovative skills, in the field is generally considered as mundane.

Dennis was always willing to share his wealth of knowledge with his colleagues, was an outright mensch and a great friend!

He will be sorely missed by all the members of the International Tax Group, which he was a member of for so many years and I  personally will miss our interesting discussions and debates.

We send our condolences to his family and friends!

Somehow, I'm sure that he has found Tax Heaven.

Rest in peace my dear friend of > 40 years!

Sincerely yours (forever),

Ronald (Ronnie) Marini

Our deepest condolences.
We are so so sad.  There are no words to express the pain in our hearts right now.

Our Denis was family to us.  Denis was a good, generous, giving  and loving man. Denis was a brilliant and GREAT MAN. 

We will miss our weekly FaceTime  video calls. 
WE WILL MISS HIM DEARLY.

 May his memory be a blessing to all who loved him.

Dalia & Mordy Preisler from Israel

Throughout his life he remained a truly gracious and pious man in all of its meanings - dutiful, loyal, conscientious, good and loving and no doubt blessed by God.   May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

Our deepest condolences…. We send our love and most sincere sympathy on Denis’ passing.

Ben and Penny Alfonso
