Joseph was born July 28, 1928, in Budapest, Hungary, to Kass Jo'zsef and Eszenyi Margit. He attended school in Hungary, graduating from the Medical University of Pecs.
On December 15, 1951, he married Domokay Katalin in Pecs, Hungary. After their marriage, they resided in Pecs, Veszprem, and Winnipeg.
The year was 1959 and community leaders from Rosholt set out on a quest. They traveled to Winnipeg and there they found Dr. Kass and recruited him to settle in Rosholt.
In October 1960 Dr. Kass and his family set roots in this fair community. The residents of Rosholt banded together and built the clinic on Main Street, which has remained a mainstay in the community for over 50 years. Dr. Kass retired in 2010.
Survivors include his wife, Kathleen Kass of Rosholt; son, Thomas Kass and his wife Carolyn of Palm City, FL; grandchildren, Scarlett Ildiko Kass and Joseph Tamas Kass; and sisters, Margit and Susanna of Pecs, Hungary.
Dr. Kass and his family would like to thank everyone, particularly those in Rosholt, Wheaton, Sisseton and the White Rock Colony for their unwavering support.
God Bless you all.
