John was a good friend of mine starting over 40 years ago. I enjoyed many good times, usually over the hood of a car, or some of the many times he would stop and visit with me at my work place. His entire family was, and still is special to me. Please express my heartfelt condolences to for the passing of this true family Patriarch. The only one that ever out ranked "Dad" in that family was "Mom". God rest her soul. It is with great sadness that I will not be able to attend John's Funeral, as I am in Florida for the next couple weeks. Thank you for passing this message on to the rest of the family. Bruce Kaus
