I was a student in Mr. Kussrow's Automotive Tech class in the late 60s. He was a positive influence to me and to many other fellow students through his leadership. My sincere condolences to his family during this difficult time... I share your loss. May he Rest In Peace.

Mr Kussrow, as I referred to him while being one of his students at Oshkosh Tech School in the late 60's, was I consider the best teacher and person one could find. I learned a lot from him and to this day think about something I learned from him long ago.
May God bless
A grateful student
