Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - January 30, 1994
Arthur Kleinfelder, Jr., a retired engineer and magazine editor, died on 28 
January 1994, in Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. He was 74. 
The cause was colon cancer. 
Mr. Kleinfelder, a native and longtime resident of Norfolk, attended Norfolk 
Division of the College of William and Mary from 1937 to 1939. He was editor of 
the college newspaper, which received a national award for journalism 
excellence. 
In 1942 he graduated from the College of William and Mary and began his 
employment with Raymond Concrete Pile Company as an engineer. With the exception 
of a short period of time as a student at NROTC at Rensselaer Polytechnic 
Institute in 1945 he remained with Raymond Concrete as an engineer in heavy 
industry. 
In 1955 he founded his own engineering company which specialized in making test 
borings for skyscrapers and other large buildings throughout the Midwestern 
states. Among the jobs he performed were test borings for the Sears Tower in 
Chicago, the Rayburn Building for the House of Representatives in Washington, 
and innumerable structures for the Illinois Bell Company. 
In the early 1970s he turned to his first love, journalism, and became the 
managing editor of several industrial trade journals. He retired from such 
endeavors in 1978 and devoted his retirement years to managing private 
investments. He was a devout member of the Methodist faith. 
Mr. Kleinfelder is not survived by any close relatives.
