He was born on June 22, 1935, in Scranton, Pa., to the late Rudolph and Beatrice (Harwood) Kunz. He was predeceased by his wife, Ellen (Judge) Kunz, in 2010; his brother, Walter Kunz, in 2021; and his granddaughter, Nicole Edwards, in 2001. He greatly missed his wife of 51 years.

He joined the United States Navy Reserves, serving as a radioman on the USS Ticonderoga, an aircraft carrier, while working as a manufacturing engineer for IBM in Owego and Endicott, N.Y., until his retirement.
"Bunkie" loved to fish, operate the CB radio, play the piano and work on his model railroad, and was a member of the Endicott Elks Lodge. He was a founding member of the Dunmore Historical Society, and was deeply involved in genealogy until his death.
He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. He loved to tell a story and was one of a kind. Fair winds and following seas.

I will miss the many discussions we had on "the boat house" and the friendship we enjoyed at Lake Sheridan for the 83 years that you were my next door neighbor.
