I am the youngest granddaughter of John Kloss, Diane's daughter whom was my grandfather's only child. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Unfortunately I did not know my grandfather well, I only met him once years ago. My grandfather has three great granddaughters two of which he met while they were babies before I relocated to Virginia. My deepest sympathy goes out to the nieces, nephews and his brother and sister in law. Our prayers are with you and your families God Bless!
