Mr Kledzik was a life long dear friend of my parents (Bob & Terry Tracey) and our family. I was one of 4 kids of Bob & Terry and the Kledzik's had 6 kids, thankfully we all got along so well while on vacation for many years together with other lifelong family friends from Steinmetz High School days. All of us who knew your father recognized his sweet soul and gentle spirit, may he rest in peace.
