David Kukulski

My heart is broken from the loss of my friend Dave. It has been a real blessing to have known Dave and the Kukulski family for more than 40 years. Dave was a friend, mentor and helped me and my family through some really good times and also bad times. He was responsible in a big way for helping build our family business. I remember so many long days and nights spent with him trying to meet some pretty impossible deadlines to get programs printed and to the events on time. We always managed together to get it done. Dave loved his family so much he was'nt happy until the company became Kukulski brothers. I know from experience that it can be hard building and running a family business but Dave showed me how much family can in times of hardship come together and support each other. I Loved Dave and will miss him. I pray that God comforts those of us that are left to morn his loss.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dave. I have so many fond memories when Dave and his brother came over to the CIFSDS in the early 2000’s to make their pitch to do our souvenir sales. It was match that has continued on for 20+ years. I know myself, Bill, Carlton, and Jeanette all loved working with the family over the years, providing outstanding product and were so reliable in their service to the public. It was a pleasure to work with Dave and his family. We had a great relationship, and I always new he could provide a great shirt, hat etc. at all events. My condolences to the family. We lost a great person! He will be missed. Sincerely, Dennis Ackerman, CIFSDS Commissioner 2001-2011

I remember Dave as a happy man, He knew no stranger. I always have such fond memories on Thanksgiving day. I was so proud when my sons, Kendall and Christopher, were placing sports while Dave and his sons were there taking pictures. They took such good pictures. I was very proud to recommend them.

Dave and I became very good friends our freshman year of college. Mr K frequently schooled me on the basketball court. He would put on that game smile and HORSE was over. Switch to half court 1 on 1 and his Charles Barkley hip action would prevail. I will never forget his kindness when he reached out to me when I started Cancer treatment last year. I am so sorry for the families loss and my deepest Condolences for each and every family member and friends who knew and loved Dave. God Bless all.

Dave and Pam were both in my graduating class of 1969 from Globe High School. Dave was an amazing athlete for GHS, and we were very proud of him! He was also an excellent student, and he was always happy, always smiling. Pam was my very dear friend since we met in the Fifth Grade at East Globe School. She was also my twin sister Christine's close friend all those years. We occasionally stayed in each other's homes overnight as children and got to know each other's parents and siblings. In the past three years Pam and I have renewed our friendship on Messenger, and we have been catching up on each other's lives with pictures and stories, long enough to fill a book! I especially loved her late mom who was also an identical twin! I loved Pam's mom even more because she was a woman of faith and prayer in the midst of her trials, and she experienced God's love and faithful answers to her prayers. I love Dave's parents, as well, because they also were faithful in prayer for their children. I am deeply saddened for Pam in the loss of her beloved husband Dave, who loved her deeply, and she him, throughout their 52 years together. The two of them worked together as a great team, raising a family, and also, along with Dave's brothers and other team members, running a few businesses. God blessed their efforts and allowed them to succeed and even used them to be a blessing to many others. Dave fought valiantly to overcome the terrible disease he recently contracted, and yet he remained victorious through it all with his love and uplifting attitude. I greatly appreciated his encouraging emails, detailing the treatments and results and the hope and peace that he felt, emails that he sent out regularly to so many of us who were praying for him. I know he also felt very blessed and thankful for all the love and sacrifice that his dear family gave him throughout his increasing pain and suffering. May God Himself be the comfort and strength of his precious wife and family that he has left behind. You will continue in our prayers, Pam, and your family, and we love you.

My deepest condolences to the entire Kukulski Family, Friends and Employees for their loss. I will forever be thankful for Dave and the Kukulski family. He was a great man. Any time we spoke about business he always would ask about my family and spoke so proudly about his. Rest in peace Dave. You and your family will remain in our thoughts.

I am so very sorry that another family has to feel so much pain. I am forever going to remember his laugh and him teasing me since I was a little girl. I love and will miss you terribly.

I would like to send my sincerest condolences to the Kukulski family. I first got to know Dave when I was a student at ASU working in the media relations office and got to work with him in producing the baseball media guide when I became the baseball SID. He was always so supportive and understanding to a young man learning the ropes and was always a joy to be around out at Packard Stadium. We lost touch after I moved out of state, but the support and knowledge he gave me in those early years of my career are foundational pieces I still use to this day. My heart broke when I learned of his passing and I am sad I will not be able to attend his celebration of life ceremony. Dave was a wonderful person and I am blessed to have had him play a role in my life and career,

My deepest condolences to Pam and family. I was in Pam and Dave’s wedding and know how much they loved each other. May God give the family strength as you grieve Dave’s tremendous loss. 😘🙏🏽
