Hall of Fame
Klepfer, an auto dealer originally from Buffalo, N.Y., came to Tifton in 1991 when he was 71 years old. He introduced himself to Coach Norman "Red" Hill and asked him if he knew of any 71-year-olds who would like to play tennis. Klepfer found a partner and played almost every Saturday and Sunday at the ABAC Courts for the next 12 years. During that time, he became a faithful supporter of the ABAC Tennis program under the direction of Coach Hill and Coach Alan Kramer. Klepfer is more commonly known to tennis players as "Grandpa Harley." He has been the man behind the scenes for the ABAC Tennis teams, always on the lookout for new recruits. He joined the ABAC Foundations's President's Cub in 1996 and reached the prestigious Silver Level in giving in 2007.
