HENRY KLOSS,
Tyrone native, well-known inventor

  Mr. Henry Kloss of Cambridge, Mass., died on Thursday, January 31, 
2002.  Mr. Kloss was very well known as an inventor of innovative audio 
and video components and was awarded by an almost cult-like devotion 
from those who bought his equipment.  As late as 2000, Mr. Kloss 
invented a tabletop radio, the Model One, and again Kloss followers 
marveled at the rich sound from the small wooden cabinet.  His son, 
David, is quoted as saying that even at the height of his success, his 
father's big thing was never to make money.  It was to pay the bills 
and create great stereos for the masses.  Mr. Kloss was the son of 
former Tyrone residents, Dan and Gloria Kloss.  He graduated from 
Tyrone High School in 1947.  He had two sisters, Gloria and Henrietta.
