John Kris, 88, of 112 Foster Avenue, died Friday June 29, 2007 at Hospice of the Upstate in Anderson.

A native of West Brownsville, Pennsylvania, he was a son of Russian immigrant parents, the late Vasili and Mary Krisfalusi.

In 1981 they sold their business and moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida. They have lived in Easley, SC since 1988. Mr. Kris was a member of the Jehovah's Witness - West Easley Congregation.

John deeply loved his family, but, above all else, he loved his God, Jehovah. We rejoice in his example of faithfulness, and await the time when he hears Jesus call him out of the grave to be part of the paradise earth for which he longed.
