Frank Klepetko Obituary

1945 - 2016
FRANK A KLEPETKO
JANUARY 19, 1945-APRIL 30, 2016


Frank A. Klepetko, lover of life and avid traveler, passed away on Saturday, April 30, 2016. Born in 1945, Frank graduated from Wheat Ridge (Colorado) High School, received his BA from Princeton University, followed by an MBA from University of Chicago. Yet it was investment banking that proved to be his passion throughout a 30-year career.

Frank will always be remembered for his incredible sense of humor, his loyalty and generosity to friends, as well as his devotion to his children, attending each of their sporting events duing their youth. Throughout his 71 years, Frank truly believed that life should always be lived to the fullest, and he did.

Frank is survived by his son, Ross W. Klepetko of New York City, and daughter, Margot L. Klepetko of Chicago, as well as his brother, Lawrence Klepetko of Sarasota, Fl.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held in July for family and friends. Donations can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the Boys & Girls Club of Ogdensburg, NY.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Frank was president of our 1962 high school senior class in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. He was an outstanding student and friend and we were so glad he was able to attend the 50-year reunion here in Colorado. We will always have fond memories of "Pancho".
