glicke Teci:
With profound regret and
deep sorrow, we, delegates Of
Sokol "Blesk" Bob. Gymnastic
Society, wish to express our
sincere sympathy to his widow,
daughters, sisters, uncle and
other relatives over death of
their beloved husband, father,
brother and nephew, and our
devoted brother Sokol, August
Klecka.
It is not difficult to under
stand the feelings of his family
over his passing away, because
the whole Czech community,
clubs, societies, fraternal,
building and beneficial, re-
garded him as either father,
brother, counsellor and friend.
Those, who grew up with him
AS he progressed from office
to other positions of response
bility, learned to look to him
as their kindly protector. They
came to him with trust and
confidence, with their troubles
and difficulties, and they went
away satisfied, that they will
be taken care of, that he won't
let them down. And they were
seldom disappointed because
brother Klecka helped all
when it was within his pro-
vince and possibility.
We, Sokols have especially
reason to remember his deeds
and his aid and counsel. 1t is
only proper to say, that his
attachment to Sokol was of
longest duration than to any
other Society or Club. AS bro
Their Klecka himself said this
spring in Sokol Hall, when he
received his diploma of SO
years membership in Sokol
"Blesk", that he started to at
tend gym classes at the age of
six, and that the memory of
those days and years of his as
ISOLATION with Sokol will al
ways remain alive and pre-
cious in his mind. There he
received his first lessons in de-
mocracy and true comradship,
There he aquired the princi-
pies of integrity, humanity and
fair dealing, which were tc
serve him throughout his life
and help him hold and deserve
the position the people be-
Ietowed upon him.
May his memory be endur'
ing. His place will be hard tc
fill in the hearts of people who
loved and trusted him. May his
Esprit guide us on for long time
to come.
