John Eric Kloss passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance on Thursday May 21, 2009 after a nine month battle with esophageal cancer. John was born in Wardsville 69 years ago to his parents, the late Olga and Albert. He was a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, an uncle and a friend to many. John lived his life as an adventure. He defied odds and he overcame obstacles. He trapped in the Yukon, he designed and built houses, he spent winters in his motorhome exploring the southern states and he spent summers exploring the northern parts of Ontario. Despite his sometimes Nomadic existence, there was one certainty in John’s life…the place he called home. Whenever John was not on the road, he lived in Dealtown with his much loved sister Rena Delargy who was instrumental in helping him maintain his independence throughout his journey with cancer. In addition to his sister Rena Delargy & Gary Dickson, John is survived by his brothers Lionel & Marlynn Kloss of Goderich and Dick & Roberta Kloss of Hensall & Florida, by his sons David Kloss of London, Robert & Julianna Kloss of Parkhill, by his grandchildren Joanna & Robert Brunnenmeir, Bob Kloss and David Johnson & Lois, by five great grandchildren and by his best friend and faithful companion “Honey”. John is also survived by many special nieces and nephews. In respect of John’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Friends and family will be received at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home, 60 Stanley Street, Blenheim on Thursday June 4, 2009 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. A Memorial Service will follow at 1:00 p.m. John believed in helping people and in that spirit, friends are encouraged to remember him with a kind deed or a donation to Myles Miracle Missions or the Canadian Cancer Society.
