Paul and Chiquita Kuntz says
0ur heartfelt empathy and prayers go out to both family and friends.
Together over the years we had enjoyed being with Dick and his family,
we would visit ,eat (pizza ) and played Euchre.
Now we are getting older and God only knows when we also have to leave our loved one
and friends .My Mother taught us that when a loved is deceased, as long as at least one
person remembers them , they are not gone completely.
May we rejoice when we are reunited in heaven .
God Bless us all.
Scott & Lori Murphy says
Lori and I are extremely saddened to hear of the loss of both Pat & Dick – our beloved Aunt and Uncle – and even more to so many more people, friends, and family. There are so many fond memories…trips to Libertyville, and family gatherings around the holidays. And who can forget the Aunts and Uncles at Grandma & Grandpa Kuntz’ place on a Sunday afternoon, playing Euchre and enjoying “longnecks” while us kids played out back…climbing the apple and pear trees or playing in the brooder house (shhh…don’t tell!) And the walk with grandpa to B&K to refill the glass root beer jug. There is comfort to know that Pat and Dick are now in that place where there is no more pain & suffering – but life eternal, alongside our Lord and Savior.
Julie (Murphy) and Peter Sands says
Peter and I were sad to hear of the loss of our Uncle Dick and Aunt Pat. There won’t be a game of euchre played where we won’t think of Uncle Dick and Thanksgiving will always bring thoughts of Aunt Pat and her oyster dressing to mind. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends.
