John P Klus

Geri and the entire Klus family, Where do I begin to express our sympathy to all of you. Buddy was one of the most remarkable, fasinating, interesting, full of life people that I have ever known. You know since Kathy married Paul, Buddy was a part of our family. It was like he married the entire Klus family. When people pass, it isn't always about the years that he had, but the life in those years. The dash that seperated his birth and the year he passed was the time he spent leaving his life, teaching others the value and the meaning of life. We will greatly miss the "rock" of the Klus family. I will never forget the day in the Madison VA Hospital when Buddy was there to remind us that my Dad had a directive about life support. He knew and he was our guardian angel that day to remind us of his wishes. We will pray for all of you to have the strength to go on with the faith he had in his family and his belief in God. Our hearts will remain saddened...We pray for you..

Kathy, John and the entire Klus family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. I know how much you loved him and that you will miss him dearly. I only met your Dad a handful of times, but it was easy to see how much he loved his family, and how you all shared in that love. Kathy, I will say a prayer for you and your family. Shill

Never met you, but I sure wish I did. It sounds like you got all the important things in life correct. What a wonderful life you lived. I'll do my best to protect our great Wisconsin woods.

I met John when he was asked to help my employer with business improvement. We found that we had a lot in common; hunting and fishing in NE WI and doing business in Finland. I found John to be everything that is described in his obituary. A truly fine and upstanding man, leader, teacher. He will be missed by us all.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Buddy's death. He was one of the finest men I've ever known ---- a good friend to my Father, R.J. Maginn, and the rest of the Maginn Family. I have many fond memories of Buddy - both experienced in person, and also via the many stories about him conveyed by my Father and Brother, Pat. He was so very kind and considerate during our most recent visit prior to my Dad's death. He supported me through this very difficult time, and I will always be grateful for that. To Geri, Lil, Mary, Kathy, and the rest of the family: you have my heartfelt sympathy. Buddy most certainly left the world a better place, and he will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Peg Maginn
