Dear Kukitz families,
Yet another year has passed since we lost our dear friend. But to Jehovah it is but a blink of an eye. He longs to bring our loved ones back to life in the earthly resurrection!
We are closer to that time with each passing day. It will be a time of exquisite joy when Richard walks up to greet his family! What a grand reunion it will be!
Sending warm Christian love from California, your friends, Eric & Graell.

Still miss Richard used to share some good times together on vacation. Also miss him stopping off just to say hi. Won´t be long when we can pick up where we left off, and enjoy one another´s company again. So looking forward to that day!

Dear Kukits family,
It has only been a year since Richard's passing, but 'the sting' of death still lingers in the hearts of those who love him.
As the pandemic pants on, we certainly have a lot to fill him in on. The massive Witnessing work regarding Jehovah's Kingdom continues to be done as this world is splintering so quickly. Very soon we will see Jehovah's Promise for the Paradise earth be fulfilled, and along with it, the earthly resurrection of so many beloved friends and family! We are all eagerly awaiting God's promises! You are in our thoughts and Prayers.
Sending our love from California,
Eric & Graell Andrews.

I remember so many experiences with Richard. He was our Tuesday night study conductor for years and we spent many hours in service together. Never a dull moment. Always laughing and playing jokes on each other, he will truly be missed. We want to express our heartfelt sympathy to Sheila and the entire Kukitz family.

We were so sorry to hear of Richards passing. His visit here to Colorado with his family was such a special time and we will treasure that always. One particular memory we have was when Jesse took them for some sightseeing and to grab lunch and the drive there was longer then we remembered. So Jesse kept saying “it’s just around the corner” and about 45 min later it got to be a funny joke. Well, now we can’t help but think that seeing Richard again is ‘just around the corner’ and we really look forward to that time. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers

Sheila, Josh & Missy, Lydia, Tabby, spouses & families,
We are so sorry to read about Richard's passing. It is always sad & difficult to find out that a friend
or family member has died. We know that death is only temporary.
We all look forward to welcoming Richard back to perfect conditions & perfect health on the paradise earth, along with countless other loved ones who are in Jehovah's iInfinite Memory. This was Richard's conviction as he taught others about God's Kingdom. May Jehovah continue to comfort your hearts as you reflect on the wonderful promises that Jehovah holds out for his loyal ones! Our Prayers are with you all. Continue to keep the Faith!
Agape,
Your friends,
Eric & Graell.

So sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person. He always had a kind and humorous thing to say. One of my funniest moments with him is when I got something from the coffee shop and he didn’t know the price and he would say just give me 50 cents, that’s good enough. He will certainly be missed, but not for long. He will be with us again very soon. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

So many wonderful memories of Richard, such a faithful example for all of us! Such a big part of the Slatington Congregation, and will be missed greatly by so many friends and family. Fond memories of Mae Kidd laughing so hard at Richard that her eyes would water! Our thoughts and prayers are with Sheila and the entire family. We can't wait to see Richard very soon so he can make us smile and laugh again!

I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with the Kukitz family and dance school and taco night with my dad playing the guitar and Richard playing his accordion. Richard always made me laugh and was always so kind and loving.
While his life is temporarily put on pause, we can all reflect on the many memories and acts of faithfulness he left behind for us to copy until we r soon reunited with him again. To Sheila and all the family ...my prayers and thoughts are with you.♥

Our heartfelt sympathy to you Sheila and the rest of your family. Richard was an asset to the congregation. An elder who was sincere and always showed he cared. We will miss him dearly. May Jehovah give you the comfort and peace that you need.

This is a great loss to us all, but especially the family. I send my deepest sympathies. I knew Richard mainly through Josh, and I can imagine what a fun, loyal friend, and patient and smart man Richard must have been, as the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. I’m so sorry for you all. I look forward to getting to know Richard better after the resurrection. In the meantime, I’m praying for the “peace that surpasses all understanding” to guard your broken hearts and steady your mental powers (Phil 4:6,7) until you can see your loving husband, father, grandfather and friend once again.
With great love,
Shawn

My sincere deepest sympathy go out to you and your family. When I would talk with Richard he always made me laugh, yet could be very serious when speaking about Jehovah and His promises. When I heard of his death my heart sunk, And my eyes teared up. I have always thought a lot about your family and someday soon we will all be together, happy, free from sickness and death in Jehovah's New World. Sheila I am so sorry. Love to you and your family.

You and the family are much in our thoughts and prayers these days. Richard will always remain very much alive in the memories of those who loved, respected and treasured him. The world has lost someone very special.
I’ve always told the friends he would give you the shirt off his back if need be.
Richard surly loved his family and Jehovah. He was fun loving and caring that is why we enjoyed some nice vacations with him and Sheila.
