Kus was a very good friend that we knew since he was in high school. We will miss him dearly, especially all of his stories and adventures.
Sometimes known as Uro Kosanovich. He loved hunting, especially in Western United States.
Kus flew to Boston and spoke at Boston College students after they watched Night of the Living Dead.
He loved photography, especially light houses in New England. He had a extensive collection of all of his photographs.
Love you and will...
