Although I have always considered Jane one of my best friends, I feel like I knew Johnny through her. She spoke highly of him and I know that she and the entire family will miss him. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Ones,
I didn't know John well but I certainly knew who he was and remember a guy who was handsome and always had a smile for whoever passed his way. My heart goes out to you in this sorrowful time, but I know that God will lift you and carry you through this heartbreak. God Bless You.

To The Klabzuba Family:
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of John. I was a classmate of his from EHHS '70 and have fond memories of him. He always had a great presence of those around him with a kind heart and compassion. I saw an article a few years back at Harris Hospital about him and your family when I started going there for mammograms and felt very proud. I know that nothing, but God's love and time can heal this loss and my prayer for your family is for comfort at this time. I will put your family on the St. Paul Lutheran Church prayer list as I know this strength will bring comfort to your family. May God's loving arms be around you.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Johnny. I remember sitting by him on a church snow skiing trip (by bus) to Taos, New Mexico...a long time ago!!! We talked a lot. What a special person he was--a great guy. I am so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. My condolences to all who knew a loved him.

My heart breaks at the passing of our dear classmate. I have many fond memories of Johnny from Meadowbrook Jr. High and Eastern Hills High School. We worked together on our 20th high school reunion and I saw him as an adult for the first. What a love he had for his wife and daughter and a kind and loving spirit to his fellow classmates. My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved this dear man.

May God comfort and guide this family through their time of loss. I remember Johnny very well. As little boys, back in the early 60’s we lived in the same neighborhood and used to play and ride our bikes together down on the Meadowbrook Golf Course. We had the same home room teacher Mrs. Gandy at Eastern Hills Elementary School.
It is sad…to suddenly hear of someone you knew so long ago, and in our memories hold still so young, to then comprehend their mortal passing without so much as an opportunity to say good bye. I pray that there will be a day soon, when we will say hello old friend…once more. I did not know his faith, but mine proclaims that eternity will be filled with many, many hellos.

Dear Mrs. Klabzuba and family, I worked in the Ft Worth office for 5 years and remember John as a fine, considerate, hard working individual with a wonderful sense of humor. I'm so sorry for your loss. He fought the good fight and he blessed all of our lives with his presence.

Although there are many childhood-classmates with heavy hearts today, we rejoice in what is evident of a life well lived. I'm sure the best is yet to come, and our condolences to his family.

Dear Melinda,
Please accept my most profound sympathy for your loss. I did not know John; but there was never a time that I knew you that he was not a major part of your life. You were with John when I first met you at age 14 (maybe?) at First Presbyterian and later throughout the years at SHS he was by your side.
I just wanted you to know you still have a world of friends in Fort Worth who do remember you and care deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you; the loss of someone so dear, after so many years together, must be absolutely surreal.
With deepest regret on your loss,
David Henry
