John Kuck was born March 19, 1937 to John and Sophie (Groebner) Kuck. After he graduated, he worked at Kraft, joined the National Guard and farmed with his parents. On April 4, 1959 he was united in marriage to Roslyn Sprenger in New Ulm. They moved onto the family farm and raised their four children. He always had time to visit with everyone while out shopping or with friends. John enjoyed his walks in the woods whether alone or with his dog. He also treasured his time he spent with Roslyn and being a caretaker to her when she was having health issues. Spending time with the grandchildren and grandkids always made him smile. Blessed be his memory.
