Our 5th grade son Arran has a class project on “people who made a difference in America” and he would like to write about your father.

Would it be possible if you could send some information about his earlier life, and if you could include a picture of him we would be very grateful.

Your sincerely

Maureen and Graeme Taylor

This wonderful man was kind enough that when my Mother was diagnosed for the 2nd time with cancer, this time in her lungs, he returned an e-mail from my fearful Father. The message he sent to my Father included the name of the Co-Director of the Lung & Esophageal Cancer Program, Dr. James Luketich. This one seemingly small effort was the difference between the surgeon in Erie who wanted to remove my Mother's entire left lung, to a trip through a blizzard to UPMC one November morning where Dr. Luketich removed 1/4 of one lobe of her left lung. I will never forget this seemingly small act of kindness & the huge difference it made in our lives. What a gift John Kanzius was to this world. My thoughts & prayers go out to all of his family & friends. John Kanzius will be sorely missed!
