Richard E. Kanka

R.I.P. Mr. Kanka. So thankful to have known you and miss your big hugs. Your son Dennis is walking in your footsteps so I know you are proud watching over him along with all your children.

Richard, another year has gone by, and you and Shirley are missed even more then before. I know you and all of the rest of yours and my family are all together again May God Bless you all and Rest in Peace dearest cousins.

Joe and I are so sorry for the loss of your Father Sue. Our prayers go out to you, Dennis and family. It was quite a shock to hear of your Fathers passing. Deepest Sympathy's.

My heart goes out to you all....he will be missed greatly I know.....thanks for showing us what neighbors are all about!! XOXO

I would like to give my deepest sympathy to the entire Kanka family. I really liked your father. He had a certain twinkle in his eyes, and a smile that could light up a room. Anytime I ran into him he would have a nice thing to say and had a smile on his face. He gave the best hugs!He was a kind, loving, funny, man with a little touch of flirt. I hope you all find comfort knowing your parents are reunited and watching over you. They will live on through all of your hearts. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry again for your loss.

We'll miss you cousin Richie. Without your jokes, your stories and your bubbly personality, family functions will never be the same. May you rest in peace with Shirley.

I loved hearing all your stories and talking with you when you would come over to visit Dennis, we had a lot of great laughs! I will miss you telling me to shut up so you could tell another story. My heart goes out to your family for their loss.

I'll truly miss my next door neighbor and all the lovely talks we shared over the fence. He was a great friend and a real mentor to my grandson Stefan. From the Brunskill family, May peace be in your hearts.

Sending my love and sympathy to the entire Kanka family. I will remember your father's twinkle in his eyes, and his smile that could light up a room. He had a great personality. He was a very sweet, kind, funny, gentleman with a touch of flirt to make you smile . Wish I could have given him one more hug. I am hoping you find peace and comfort knowing your parents are back together again. They are watching over you all, and will forever live in your hearts. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

Deepest, heartfelt sympathy to the entire Kanka family. The loss of your wonderful father and mother so close together was surely divinely orchestrated. What an amazing contribution they made to Ridgefield street!
