Gary Klein
This is Gary Klein. Mr. Faitell and eventually “Sy” to me was my coach at Elmont Memorial HS in the mid 60’s. He then hired me to work for him at Camp Allegro. Those were the best 6 summers of my life.
During my time there he treated me more like a younger brother than an employee. He gave me a lot of responsibility and taught me more about life and confidence than any other man in my life besides my own father. He was my mentor and friend, and I looked up to him as someone that I would like to emulate. There is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the biggest influences on my successes in life.
My deepest condolences to Elicia and the girls. He will be missed.
