To Gunther's family and friends, I'm so sorry for your loss. Gunther was a great guy. We knew him when we lived at Barkley Village Apartments in Whitehall. My son was 8 at that time and always had fun with Gunther. Gunther was a good role model for him, teaching him about computers and kidding around with him! RIP Gunther!

My condolences to the Kurrasch family. I knew Gunther from Whitehall High School. I was the Class of 87, one year behind him.
Gunther was one of those guys that you know was smarter then most with computers. He was the first person that I knew understood computers and how to write code. He was the first person that explained to me what a floppy disk was. This was all before we had personal computers. He was someone that was able to build them way before anyone knew how to do that. He was most likely a genius and we just never knew it back then.
Gunther was a kind hearted person that would take time out to say hello or to help others. His memory to me will be of a kind soul. The world lost a good person. Blessings to his family and friends on the loss of Gunther.
