John W. Koza

Uncle John, to me, signified strength, pride and accomplishment. I will always remember how proudly he displayed photos of his children in his San Francisco office and gloated to his co-workers about all of his nieces, including me. He was the person behind the camera with the bright light, whose legacy will surely live on through his children and grandchildren.

My love goes out to the entire family who reinforced his strength when he ran out. You are my inspiration.

Dear Koza family,
I was very sorry to hear of John's death. I was John's assistant during his last two years at Russell, and I remain very appreciative of the start and opportunities he gave me at the Russell company. I have many fond memories of those years. I remember that John was extremely proud of his children, as he spoke so often of each of you and your accomplishments.

My deepest condolences for your loss.

Dear Koza Family:

I was deeply saddened to learn of your father's untimely death. We were colleagues at The Boston Company Real Estate Counsel and I considered him a mentor. We kept in touch over the years and his strong belief in success through education is something I will always remember about him. He spoke of his children often and marveled at all your accomplishments. He loved being a grandfather. We were all blessed to have known him....
In deepest sympathy,

John was a great friend. Many memories from BC to Iowa. My
sympathy to the family.

My sincere condolences to Johns family. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I worked with John at Fidelity back in the early 80's. He was a gentlemen a professional and I remember him always having a smile on his face.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Please know we are here for you if you need anything! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Kathy, Kenny, Tom, Danny, and Patrick

Dear Karla and her family,

Our thoughts are with you and the entire Koza family. You will always have your memories to cherish.
