Jay E. Kline,79,  of Leola, PA died December 1, 2010 at his home. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Edward H. and Marie Eisenberger Kline. Jay was the husband of Gladys Saturno Kline who died August 14, 2010.

Jay worked for Halpern where he managed a store Deli. Later he worked for Kunzler as a salesman and was awarded the Victor Award for Sales. Lastly he opened and owned the former Kelly's Korner Deli, and then Kelly's Deli. He was a hard worker and worked since he was a very young person. He loved people and that is probably why he was successful in his businesses and as a salesman. He loved his family deeply and always provided well for them.

He and his late wife, Gladys celebrated their 50 ^th wedding in June of this year. Due to her health problems she had to live in a skilled care nursing facility, so they were living apart for 3 years and he really missed her. Unfortunately they did not get to spend a lot of time traveling or doing things when he retired because of this. Now they are once again reunited.

His sense of humor and joking will be missed as he loved to laugh and tease those he liked and loved. His presence in her life will be missed dearly by his daughter.

He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Leola. He served in the Korean War in the US Army.

Surviving is his daughter, Kelly Kline, Lancaster, a sister, Betty Applebach, Lancaster and a nephew, Doug Ginder.  He was preceded in death by a nephew, Kevin Ginder.
