Cancer's a bitch
My best friend from Jr. High and High School:
John B. Koslick
Former resident John "Wolf" B. Koslick, 35, lost his battle with cancer Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2006, at Samaritan Albany General Hospital.
He was born Jan. 27, 1970, in Fairbanks, the son of Robert and Darlene (Ossander) Koslick. He grew up and attended school in Fairbanks. He attended the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Linn Benton Community College in Albany, Ore. He moved to Oregon in 1995.
John married Rachelle Carpenter on Oct. 31, 1998, in Albany, Ore.
He worked in the entertainment business for 13 years and was a karaoke jockey with Karaoke Northwest. He had a wonderful singing voice and sang frequently at the AMF Lanes in Albany. He was a 1998 finalist in the Star Search Contest. John worked for Evanite Fiber Corp. in Corvallis.
John once bowled a 300 game during a city tournament in Corvallis at Highland Bowl. He was very talented in working on computers and he enjoyed the coast and being outdoors. John loved animals, but his greatest loves were his wife, daughter and family.
John is survived by his wife, Rachelle Koslick and daughter Tabitha Koslick, both of Tangent; father and stepmother, Bob and Sandy Koslick of Fairbanks and mother, Darlene Ossander of Albany; sisters and brothers-in-law, Denise and Bobby Monigold of Albany and Sarah and Steve Feathers of Warner Robins, Ga.; his dog, Daisy, and his cats, Anastasia, Fantazia and Weebo.
A celebration of life was held at the AMF Albany Lanes on Friday, Jan. 27.
A memorial service will be held at Fisher Funeral Home at 11 a.m. today. A reception will follow at Fairmount Grange, 835 North Albany Road, Albany.
Contributions may be made to the John Koslick Memorial Fund at any US Bank.
Arrangements were by Fisher Funeral Home, Albany, Ore.

It would be harder on me, but we weren't very close any more. Still, we had each visited each other in the last five years, and I talked with him weekly over the last month or so. Sigh.
