Mr. Kleinman. He is one of my favorites. A big brother. A hero. A one of a kind . He shared many good examples for me to learn and practice. He is very hard to forget ! I was richly blessed with my time with him. Winston Chew

Rest in peace my friend. I was honored to not only race with Sy in the San Francisco Big Boat Series (The Rolex Cup) on the plastic fantastic Swiftsure 2, but also to sail recreationally with him and even helm (an honor reserved for a rare few) on the original aluminium Maxi, Swiftsure. This rare honor is something I'll never forget, as is Sy, somone I will never forget.
Fair winds and safe passage Skipper.!

My father worked for Sy at Capitol Ford years ago. Sy invited me to join him on the boat one weekend and we sailed all around the San Francisco bay. Its something I'll never forget. My father also died this year. Both will be missed.

He really cared alot for Mrs.Kleinman in her needs and comfort at home with a great care giver team-though he had another team keeping him going with all his own issues. What a...
