Richard L. Kuntz

Richard L. Kuntz “Dick”, of Burlington passed away peacefully on October 11, 2024 with his family by his side. Richard was a US Army Veteran and a retired Industrial Tool Salesman. Beloved husband of 60 years to Angel Kuntz (nee Presing). Loving father of Sandra Scotto D’Antuono (Michael), Tonya Sigalas (Louis), and Ricci Blinke (Craig). Dear Pop Pop to Frankie (Carly), Richie, Gabriella, Anthony, Matthew, Angelina, Anna, Sophia, Alexander and Emma. Great grandfather of Ava Maria. Brother of the late Robert and uncle of Sherry, Chris, and Vince.

Richard was a beloved husband, father, pop-pop, and great-grandfather to those he left behind. His family, friends, and community will remember him for his generosity, resourcefulness, and willingness to help anyone in need. 

Richard was born on November 26, 1943, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His adventure began when he was stationed in the army with the 3rd Brigade. This is where he met the love of his life. Their story began at Cafe’ Engel, which led them to Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Richard enjoyed finding hidden treasures at yard sales. He always found creative solutions to difficulties in some of the most obscure ways. He had a passion for traveling, going on excursions, and making memories. His favorite time was spent in Italy and Mexico. If he wasn’t partaking in an adventure, he was cheering alongside you. He loved spending time at the cabin, fishing, fixing things, and strolling down the aisles of Columbus Mart. He opened his arms to new acquaintances and made friends everywhere he went. 

He owned and operated RLK Industries successfully and continued relationships with his favorite partnership, Mack Trucks. He was known for always providing the best service, and top-notch entertainment while establishing friendships that lasted through time.  

Although his free time was limited, he was always willing to give his time and wisdom to help out whether it was at a Pinewood Derby, talking through problems on the phone, or sharing his theory on political views. When Richard was present, there was never a dull moment. He always brought smiles and laughter to anyone who he met. 

Richard and Angel shared sixty wonderful years of marriage. Their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will always cherish the memories of his kindness, feistiness, and the “twinkle in his eye” whenever he brought a new holiday decoration into the house. He took pride in his family. He raised three strong daughters who married three wonderful men, the sons he never had. Each of them going on to create families of their own. He enjoyed sharing his time with his ten grandchildren devoting his energy, teaching the value of education, and sharing his knowledge. To his grandchildren, pop-pop was the ultimate trinket shop owner. He was fortunate to have a great-granddaughter who will hear the stories of her great-grandfather’s legacy. 

The RLK Industries logo will be marked on our shirts, hats, and hearts forever. We will miss him greatly.
