John G Kochis

Deepest sympathy

I knew John and his brother Steve from Boy Scout Troop 69, St. Wenceslas Catholic Church, Maple Hts. OH. John was a great guy. He took the younger scouts in the troop under his wing to encourage them. My condolences to the Kochis' family.

I wish we had gotten to know each other sooner. I always saw you in the streets at faire. When we meet we clicked instantly. I'm so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you and become friends. You have left a lasting impression on me and a huge hole in my world. I will cherish our conversations and the memories we made. I miss you so much. HUZZAH HUZZAH HUZZAH dear friend until we meet again.

We'll be there with you soon.

I'll never forget his kindness to me, when I met him, I asked what the Irish Penny brigade was and he drugged me right over to Bill Weaver and I got involved,boy did I did I get involved! He was always there to lend a hand and bring his famous chicken paprikash! I always knew his van by the smashed stuffed kitty cat he had in the window. He will be missed. Tracy Vogus

Remember all my interactions with John in Scouting. Always had a positive attitude and approach to everything. And it was really neat that on the last day at Scouts Summer Camp at Beaumont, you could see John walking around in his full regalia for the renaissance fair. John, I enjoyed associating and working with you at Scouting Camp. You will be remembered and missed. Rest easy friend.

Thanks for all the good times my dear friend. May you rest in peace.

Rest well, my friend. See you on the other side
