He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Fredrick and brother Steven (Wilma) Kaufman.

He was also a beloved Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express their appreciation to all who cared for and supported him and his family over the years, and especially in the last month before his death. Private graveside services were held at the German Apostolic Christian Cemetery on November 5, 2021.
