Frank H. Kunkle

Mr. Kunkle was one of a kind. I sometimes saw him seven days a week. In addition to being the band/chorus director, he was chorus leader at the church we both attended. He was patient and kind. He would tease me about my ski jump nose. I love music am sure it is in part because he made it so enjoyable.

I will always remember Frank's kindness
and encouragement.

Mr. Kunkle was an important figure in my life. He taught me flute beginning in the 3rd grade and was my band and chorus instructor through high school graduation. I remember him with great fondness and am greatful for having had the opportunity to have known him. I know that my love of music today is in no small measure a result of his wonderful influence. What a great man.

My condolences to his wife and family.

I have many wonderful memories of Mr. Kunkle. He started me on the cello in 4th grade (over 40 years ago!). Through the years he kept in touch with the Riegel kids and came to concerts and asked about us through high school and college (we were all music majors). I'm certainly not the only former student who made music their career,but his influence was great. My condolences and best wishes to the Kunkle family.

I was a student at St. Mary's Catholic grade school (Hamilton) and fondly remember Mr. Kunkle as our music teacher. He was very patient and kind to his students-even though we didn't have much musical talent! May he rest in peace - and God Bless his family left to mourn his loss.

Dear Nell and family....we celebrate Franks' (Mr. Kunkle to his students) life. What a wonderful man and teacher. We really enjoyed reading aboout his life in the Toledo Blade. May God bless you and the family. Jim and Saundra(nee Turner) von Seggern

We extend our sympathy to the family. Mr. Kunkle was the teacher who influenced me the most while I was a student at Wauseon. I have wonderful memories of being in band and chorus under his direction for 8 years (back in the 50's). I am grateful to have had that experience.

My sympathies go out to Mr. Kunkle's family. He was more than a teacher to me, he was also a kind friend. He was my band director for eight years at Wauseon HS as well as choir director at our church. I'm so grateful to have known him and able to spend five or six days a week with him for many years. He was an inspiration to so many people.

We enjoyed so much getting acquainted with Frank and Nell in our Aqua Toners class. Frank always brought a lot of joy to our group with his antics and that lovely, sparkling smile. He and Nell have been truley missed. We all cherish these memories.
