CALGARY (NEWS1130) – Calgarians are being invited to pay their respects to Former Premier Ralph Klein starting this morning.

A book of condolences will be available to the public at the MacDougall Centre until April 12th.

A state funeral won’t be held for Klein, but a “celebration of life” for Klein is planned for Friday at Jack Singer Concert Hall..

Klein’s longtime friend and strategist, Rod Love, says Klein walked into the old Calgary City Hall as a 26-year-old young reporter, so that’s where his family wants his journey to end.

Klein died Friday at the age of 70.
