Dear Kloski Family,
I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was such a good friend to my father and our entire family. I am sure they are on the other side playing a practical joke on someone as they often did and getting a good laugh. There is some solace in knowing they are enjoying each others company again!

My sympathy to The Kloski Family; I liked Johnny very much; I have known him since I was a very young man working for Freddie Cozzi. I actually brought some shoes and slippers to John when he was at The Lexington for rehab. It was great to see him. He had a great sence of humor and a great laugh as well! I will miss him a lot.
