My prayers and thoughts are with the Klebba family in this time of loss, but we should also remember the great times. The Gin Mill, Bosley Park, and the neighborhood were wonderful in their time and Lefty was a big part of all of it. With sympathy and fond memories,

Mrs. Klebba, Nancy and David, I am very sorry to hear about your husband/father and extend my heartfelt sympathies to you. The Case family lived next door to the Kelbba's for many years. You were wonderful neighbors. I want to express my gratitude to the Klebba's for your attention and assistance to my mother, Emily Case, during her troubled years in Bridgeport. Mr. Klebba was a kind, happy person; it was a pleasure to know him. He will be missed.

Frank was a wonderful man. I am proud to have known him. Always a smile and a nice word. We played golf together on the Gin Mill Golf Club leauge. Many of sundays we on the club enjoyed watching Frank come up the 9th hole with that great big smile. There was no disguising the fact that he was happy to be there.I think I speak for the entire Gin Mill Golf Club in saying that Frank will be terribly missed. One thing is for sure, his memory will live on and the world was definatly a better place because of Frankie..

God Bless his wife and children.

So long Frank...
