Your name popped up in my head with a fond thought of old times. I wasn´t aware you passed. Some of other close pals, gone too. I shed a tear for all but will never forget the fun we all had together. Fishing, boating, golfing and living the sweet life.
I´ll never forget Stan the Man
God love ya!

I worked for the Kukla's for 11 years. Then Stan and I crossed paths again years later. He always treated his employee's with respect. A true Gentleman. My heart goes out to the Kukla Family for their loss.

Working for Kukla for over 30 years was alot of hard work and some of the best times to be had. He looked so much like Mike Ditka lots of people in Green Bay were fooled.
