Vos, John Peter age 87 of Mpls, found peace on March 16, 2015 at his home with his son at his side. John was born in Cologne MN on February 5th, 1928, the 4th child of Leonard & Anna Vos. John was a member of the Knights of Columbus for over 50 years and an active member of Incarnation Catholic Church in Mpls where he volunteered for numerous activities and events, including the Food Shelf. He spent countless hours volunteering in the community at charities such as St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store, Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly, the local Food Shelf, and Loaves and Fishes where he delivered day old bread for the needy. Loving and caring father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, John enjoyed being with family and friends - sharing his wry sense of humor and generous nature.
