Sending our condolences to the entire Kuntz family. John did our addition to our old farmhouse back in the 90´s to accommodate my parents moving in... it was, and is to this day perfect, and is my elderly Moms safe and beautiful space. We got to know John over the weeks and months he was at our house and found him to be a wonderful ,funny and kind person . We are very saddened to hear of his passing. In Christ, Gary and Michele Achey

Denise I am so sorry to read about John's death. Although we did not see each for quite awhile I do remember as kids we did spend family time together. John was a very talented man.
