He was one of my high school mentors. Created a college level physics course so that some of us would be better prepared. To use a pun of his, he was phantastic.

To the Kuntz family, you have my deepest sympathy; sorry to be so late. Ray and I had many classes together at Ambridge High - we were friends. After Ambridge, I went in the service and Ray went to college and we lost touch. I tried at one point to send him a email through Classmates but I guess he didn;t get it.
I;m am sorry that we didn't have an opportunity to have a reunion, he made high school better.

I was blessed to have known Doc as a student at WHHS. (Class of '93) He was a gifted teacher, one that you knew loved his subject, cared about his students, and truly enjoyed what he was doing. The world was a better place for his having been in it. Even though he's not physically with us any longer, every student he touched took some of him with him or her, and through that, Doc will be with us for many, many years.

Paul, my prayers are with you and your family during this time.

I was so saddened by Ray's passing. I fondly remember all the jokes and office chats he and I had at Turtle Creek HS. You and he were always special friends and I thought of him often. He was such a good and kind man. My symathies to you all. Take care

I too had "Doc" as my computer science teacher at WHHS from 1990-1992. He was one of the teachers who made a difference in my high school life. My heart felt sympathy to Paul and the entire Kuntz family.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of "DOC". During my junior and senior years at Turtle Creek High School, it was Dr. Kuntz who got me interested in computers and helped shape my future career. He was a great teacher and I know everyone that had contact with Dr. Kuntz remembers him fondly

To the Kuntz family:
I graduated from TCAHS in 1972 and Mr. Kuntz was my physics teacher. He loved teaching, made learning fun and was very patient with all of his students. To this day, I still remember the "Doppler effect" because of him. We're having a class reunion this year - & I'm forwarding this news to our committee. You have our deepest sympathies - and, know that we remember "Kuntzie" with great fondness.

Valedictorian, Class of '72

My deepest sympathies. "Doc" was an dedicated teacher and I was priviledged to experience his teaching first hand at WHHS (Class of '92). "Doc" even taught my dad early in his career. My thougts and prayers are with your family. Paul, as we were friends once upon a time, I am truly sorry for you loss.

"Doc" was my computer science teacher for three years at Woodland Hill High School (Class of '92). He was an outstanding teacher and a kind, funny man. Although I pursued a career in civil engineering, to this day I still am an avid programmer - largely because of him. My deepest sympathies go out to Paul (who I knew from cross-county) and the rest of the Kuntz family.

Diane and Family,
It was a treasure to work with Ray at Turtle Creek and Woodland Hills. His humor, wit, and congeniality was only exceeded by his diligence and dedication to teaching and helping others. It is tragic that he was called at such a young age. He will always be remembered in my personal album of treasured memories. With deepest sympathy. . .

Heart felt sympathy to Ray's family. Ray and I were aquainted through music. I played in the East Winds Symphonic Band and now the Westmoreland Symphonic Winds with him. We shared an interest in golf although we never got to actually play together. We expected to play next year after I retire. Again, my deepest condolences. Ray was one of the good guys and he will be greatly missed. Ron Johnson

Diane,
I was shocked to hear about "Doc", he was a wonderful man and an outstanding educator. You have my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. I will miss seeing him and hearing about his golf game. Woodland Hills lost a great teacher ten years ago, his work and "stories" will live on forever.
