Richard James Kucharski, 56, known to all as Rick, passed away on January 24, 2020.  He was born in Racine on August 16, 1963, son of James and Nancy (Née: Tutak) Kucharski.

Rick was united in marriage to the love of his wife, the former Sandra Lynn Warner, on November 14, 1981, at Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church in Racine.

Rick graduated from Park High School in 1981.  He was a machinist first for the Dumore Corporation and then for Beere Precision Products until his retirement.

Rick loved the outdoors.  He enjoyed spending time "up north" in Freemont, Yellow Lake, and Rhinelander.  He was an avid fisherman and really enjoyed ice fishing.  Rick loved his honey hole at Wind Lake (where they never caught any fish).  He was a sports fan of all Wisconsin sports teams.  Above all, he treasured his family and loved being a proud grandpa.
