Jr. Henry Kann

Henry Kann Jr., age 86, of Guttenberg, IA, died Saturday, November 23, 2013, at the Guttenberg Municipal Hospital. He was born on September 2, 1927, on the home farm on Miners Creek outside Guttenberg. Henry received his education from both St. Marys and a country school near his home. By the time Henry was 17 he began his career in mechanical service which continued till he was 62. All those years, he worked for different companies but never changed the location of the work shop. Over many years, Henry drove bus for the school system making sure generations of children made it to school and home safely. Most of Henrys life was spent under a machine but he would enjoy the occasional trip to the casino. He took pride in turning damaged automobiles into safe, efficient cars that many families could make happy memories in. And of course, there was his lawn. Many could drive by Henrys home and see him in his lawn chair watering the lawn. No matter what drought Guttenberg was experiencing, Henrys yard was flawless. Henry is survived by his wife of 65 years Shirley; three children, Pat Corkery of Wadena, Mike (Germaine) Kann of Guttenberg and Kim Hale of Brighton, Colo.; six grandchildren, five great grandchildren and one great great granddaughter; three siblings, Irene Waterman of Guttenberg, Edward Kann of Dubuque and Lorraine Schlueter of Anamosa and many other relatives and friends.
