STRAIGHT WIRE
Mrs. John C. Klucaynski
4276 Archer Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60632
The sad news of John's death has just reached us and our hearts
go out to you. I have many memories of our years together in the
House of Representatives. John Kluczynski was a loyal American
who served our Nation and the people of Illinois with dedication
and distinction. Although we sat on different sides of the aisle, I
was proud to call him my friend.
While words can have little meaning in the face of your great loss,
we hope that happy memories of your life together will lighten your
burden of sorrow. Betty and I send our heartfelt sympathy and our
prayers during this difficult time.
