Thomas Alan "Tek" Kleban

With deep sympathy and sadness I share this memory of my brother Scott DeLallo traveling with Tommy and the Kleban clan on the track meets, especially the ones in MD when Dr and Mrs Kleban would stop for bushes of crabs to bring home!! May Tommy now be able to run and vault to his heart content with the Lord our God. RIP Tommy and may God bless his entire family and friends. LyneDee DeLallo DiPietro

A truly heroic Man. Tom leaves a remarkabable legacy. An inspiration to us all. A great athlete, friend, teacher and coach. He will be missed yet his spirit endures.

We here at MTM/CATA were honored to have Tom anytime he rode with us. Friendly and easy going every time we had him. We will miss him.

I met Tom through work at Vantage and I'm only one of the countless people who were lucky enough to have crossed his path. His warmth, kindness, intellect and humor are unforgettable. There will never be another like Tom. My sincere condolences to his family and all close to him.

I was blessed to know tommy as i worked for rider motors when he had ordered his special needs van Tommy had a wonderful outlook on life that always amazed me. His parents devotion and love was unmatched. I later worked In insurance and worked with Doc again . Id see Tommy at events with his parents and he remembered me and greeted with me a smile. My prayers thoughts are with the family.

I met Tom around 1995 or 1996- he became a friend, an inspiration, coach and mentor to my sons and ready source for investment discussions or a dose of optimism. He will be deeply missed but grateful to have memories of time spent with him. Peace and comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing Tom.

What an AWESOME written tribute, documenting a powerful example of a life well-lived under extraordinary circumstances. Even the picture you captured is exactly how I have always remembered Tek. Year after year when my wife and I made the voyage from Atlanta to SC to see our Nittany Lions play at Beaver Stadium, there is one constant I could always count on ... seeing Tek at his familiar tailgate spot, gleaming with pride in anticipation of the impending kickoff. He was ALWAYS smiling as big...

Dear Kleban Family, I did not know Tek personally, but I do recall our paths crossing several times, one of them being at a rehab facility as he worked out. I was immediately drawn to his graciousness, upbeat attitude, unwavering smile and his absolutely glowing face. His presence and demeanor left such an impression on me, even though I never had a conversation with him. I have no doubt that he is making quite the same impression on his final journey. What a remarkable person.

Betty, We were so shocked and saddened to learn of Tom´s passing. I remember him when he worked at Aris. I was working at PFG at the same time and the 2 companies were in the same building. He was such a kind young man and always had a smile on his face. We are thinking about you & your family and wishing you peace at this difficult time.
