Fred Klein, the longest-tenured Knicks season-ticket holder dating to 1959, died Saturday of coronavirus, his wife Terry told The Post.
Klein, who lived in Manhattan his entire life, was 85. He caught the coronavirus in a nursing home, though originally it was deemed just pneumonia, his wife said.
Long before there was Spike Lee, Klein was known to associates as the “Knicks SuperFan.”
Klein also was a former co-owner of the Carnegie Deli and grew close to Knicks legend and MSG Network analyst Walt Frazier, helping him launch his restaurant “Clyde’s Wine and Dine.”
