I am so sad to have recently learned of Dick’s passing. He was one of the first people I befriended when I worked at Kuhns. His strong work ethic and kindness was recognized by fellow staff and customers. Every shift, he would come up to the customer service office and buy a Pepsi and candy bar. If our breaks lined up, we would sit together in the break room and he would share stories from his past. Dick will be greatly missed as a colleague, a friend, and on a more personal note, as my grandfather figure. Rest easy, Dick. May we meet again in another life.
Our family just learned today of his passing. He and his family were longtime neighbors of ours. Dick was a faithful brother to his siblings . May he rest in peace. Sincerely, the Hummel family
Dick was a warm, personable fellow; he always took the time to chat with my wife and I at Kuhns Deli counter, and ask me if I was enjoying my recent retirement. We will miss him.
I shopped at Kuhns just to talk with Dick. What a genuine first class man that had time for everyone. He always asked how the whole family was doing. Dick touched a lot of people and he could speak about a lot of things. I was very sad today to learn he passed. He was my friend. God rest his soul.
I am so sorry to hear the news of Dick’s passing. He was such a kind man. Whenever my husband and I saw him at Kuhn’s, he would always take the time to say Hello and ask about my family. Rest In Peace, Dick. You will be missed.
Rest in peace my friend.
Till we meet again.
Dick was a very kind and genuinely caring person. When either my husband or I were in the store, he would ask by name how the other was doing. He will be missed.
I knew Dick through my patronage at Kuhn’s Market. Dick was always so pleasant to everyone. We had many opportunities to chat and share some of our life stories. He was such a hard worker. He will be missed by all. Godspeed.
Dick was a genuinely kind person. He made everyone who entered Kuhn’s feel welcome and special. He will be greatly missed.
Dick was a beloved member of the Kuhn’s team. He had a way of making everyone feel special, and wore his heart on his sleeve. He will be deeply missed, as both a colleague and a friend.
