Dear Klekas family,
I am saddened to see that Harry has passed. Harry was the bailiff for Judge Uno when I was his court clerk. I worked several years with Harry and we had many laughs and cries together.
I am glad I got to know him and about his life. He had a Hollywood career that a lot of us could only dream about. I loved the pictures he would bring in and the stories he would tell.
I chuckled over the arguments he would have with his mother over the...

I used to love conversing with Mr. Klekas and sharing a drink while cool jazz played in the background. I fondly recall his stories and will always remember the good times I spent with him. May his memory be eternal.

Anybody who worked at the Salt Lake County Government Center on 2100 South State Street in Salt Lake City in the 1980's knew Harry. He was nice to everyone and good of example of how just smiling to others and being nice to others can make the day more pleasant. My sympathies to the family for your loss. Sincerely, a former employee of Salt Lake County

I will miss Harry always. I have thought of him often in the past years wishing I knew how he was. He was my Baliff when I was the Court Reporter for Judge Baldwin and Judge Uno. He took me to my first "Greek Festival" and I've gone every year since then. I have great memories of all the stories and times in the District Court in the old Metropolitan Hall of Justice. Rest in peace, my Friend...Bob Lewis

Harry, it gets very scary when one of your all time close buddies leaves. We had great times together...You even volunteered for the Army when I was drafted, probably never forgive me for that one. The memories are flowing in as I type. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've been back to the old homestead to spend some time with you. Our football team is breaking up...save a wide receiver spot for me up there. "Dimitrious" Jim Zogg
