John, You always made me smile and laugh. Any time I would be on the phone with you, all of my colleagues around me knew when I was speaking to my friend from Allentown! You made this world a brighter place Johnny! I could see your light shining all the way over here in Minnesota! I am so sad that I did not get a chance to say goodbye. But I know you are dancing around in heaven, telling jokes and playing tricks on the angels! You will be missed my friend! Laura, I can't imagine how hard this is for you to lose your best buddy! It was a full time job trying to keep him out of trouble :) A job you loved. My prayers are with you!

Growing up with Mr Kutz's son John through grade school and high school and into adulthood there are many memories. Such a fun time in my life. My condolences to Laura, John and Steve. Mr Kutz was our photographer at our wedding. Every time I look at our pictures great memories of that day come to mind. It helped that his son was in the wedding party.!!! He will surely be missed.

Read Johnny's obituary in Morning Call this morning which brought back many happy memories of us at Baba Marouchoc's home and John's home with his sisters.John was a funloving and great cousin.Life has a way of disconnecting all of us but the memories live on.About 6 months ago while reflecting back I called his business phone number which was not in service. Please accept our sympathy for your loss Laura and family. Rosemarie{Marouchoc}and husband Manny who also knew John.
