We are holding you close in our hearts.

Sorry for the loss of you Father. 

in these times, there's nothing that compares to the loss of a parent, but as long as our loved ones live on in our hearts and memories. There is a part of them that will never leave us.

You & your family are in our prayers, 

Jesse, Sandra, & Isabella Rascon..

Hi Tony,

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother at a very young age. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Please let me know if you need anything.

To Richard's family,

My sincere sympathy on the passing of a great man.  Just last week I waved to him as I was leaving Calista Court.  He was a man with man talents and always ready to share his talents.  He will be greatly missed.  May he rest in peace in God's arms.

Richard was a very talented and special man.  He was a jack of all trades and could fix, engineer or modify most anything.  Practical to a fault, he looked for the safest and the most economical way to solve a problem.  Working with him at Kinstone was a dream come true.  He was hard working, organized, funny and loved to tease.  We had so much fun building the chapel, sauna and entrance center together.  Whenever I would get too wrapped up in my work or ask him to do the impossible, he would yell "Becky, he's at it again."   Not one to hide behind a woman's skirt, he certainly knew how to calm me down by bringing my beloved wife into the fray (usually on his side:0).   Becky loved him as a big brother and co-conspirator.  He enjoyed her organizational skills and her ability to do things on time and keep the whole process moving along in a positive direction. 

He was most certainly the ligaments and tendons of Kinstone and will be sorely missed.  Our hearts are just broken by our loss of this wonderful man.  Rest in Peace dear friend.

Claire (and the rest of  Richard's family),

I am so sorry, Richard was like an older brother to me.  He helped me THINK through so many things and I always looked up to him, and looked forward to seeing him.

Such a good man.

Kindest regards,

I worked with Richard while I worked at Sherwin Williams. He worked at Shorewood in Rochester. He was always a pleasure to work with. He was already happy and fun to speak with. Sorry for your loss.

My sympathies to the Kuisle family.  I will my seeing Dick at the wrestling tournaments next spring.

Again, my sympathy.

To the Kuisle Clan ...
Heart hugs from afar as you celebrate Richard's love of life and family. He was bigger than life in so many ways and I know you'll all miss him terribly.  I think he might say, "Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.  Perhaps my time seemed all too brief -- Don't shorten yours with undue grief.  Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow."  As you grieve, may God provide comfort and peace.

Tony and Kuisle Family,

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my father too at a very young age. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Semper Fidelis, Phillip Rice

My heart goes out to you and your family. 

Richard; Thank you for your generous heart, giving spirit, cheerful smiles and warm hugs.  Thank you for taking the time to welcome my mother to her new

home, her apartment at Callista Court.  You are loved, you will be missed by many!

Richard was more than just the maintenance guy at St. John the Baptist, he was family. A mentor and friend, quick to help in any capacity, he was a great example for our children. He had a ready smile, infectious laugh and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. My families thoughts and prayers are with his family. We were blessed to have known him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Kuisle family for their loss.

Though it has been years since we last talked, I still think of you and I and some other cousins as sort of a 'band of brothers.'  In our younger years we worked together, and sometimes we played nearly as hard as we worked.  Memories of baling hay and fieldwork predominate, but also camping excursions, water skiing on the Mississippi, wedding dances, house warming, and even an occasional nite on the town. You lived well my 'brother', may you rest in peace.

Tim Kuisle

Sorry for your loss

My thoughts and prayers are with  the Kuisle family. Richard will be missed by many people. I only knew Richard through wrestling officiating. He was always a joy to work with and the last two seasons had not been the same since he left the Twin Cities area. I was lucky enough to get a chance to visit with him one last time at our most recent officials clinic. I feel truly blessed for that opportunity and will miss him greatly. Terry White Gold Country wrestling official.

Richard was our beloved maintenance man at St John parish and school in Excelsior, MN.  He took care of us all and we always felt protected when Richard was in our presence.  And, he always had us laughing. An unforgettable person in our children's lives. We are so sorry for your great loss. 

i am so sorry for your loss. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers! 

Richard was a great person and we were blessed to be able to work for him at St.Anns and Callista the last two years ! Most recently did a job with him . He will be missed very much by these Organizations and all of us that worked with him

Bernie's Painting LLC.....

I enjoyed officiating with Richard for many years. When another Rich and I would get to the NYWA weigh-ins, Rich would already be there.

When we left the arena late at nite, Rich would walk out with us. and in between he would officiate for 12 hours. Come in stiff and sore the 

next morning and do it all again. I am sure he will be honored at state this year, but he will be missed by many people. I will miss you too Rich...

so blow the whistle................

This wonderful man will be missed A LOT! I worked for him as housekeeper for a few months at Saint Anne of Winona-then moved to another department. He was so friendly and always had a lending ear to listen to all. Fun, friendly, and always with a smile. If he was having a bad day, you wouldn't of known it-too much. Always stopped to talk to you as a person, not as a worker-this made ones day. Richard was a very tall man. He and I would walk down a hallway and it was hilarious--to me anyways---I'm 4'10". Image that? I will miss him, really I will. I can still see him riding his lawn mower around his place too-and he didn't even know I was there enjoying the stone grounds. He left a very impressible mark on my life. Please know that I'm TRULY SORRY for your loss-for your loss is mine as well. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. Richard-watch over the rest of us down here-we still need you.

Sometimes in a family you take your siblings and family for granted.  I have to admit, I took Richard for granted because I always believed he would be there no matter what.  The BS we gave each other just never ended, so now what...  Richard you had a heart of gold, a big heart and unbelievable compassion for others.  Maybe this is why your heart gave out, you were always giving.  God wanted YOUR special heart to share with greater good.  Richard, God has a plan for you and a GREAT PLAN it is.   You will be missed by hundreds friends, missed by thousands of kids learning the sport of wrestling through your lens and most importantly missed by your family.  Until we meet again - God Bless Big Guy, give Dad and Patrick a hug from a bro... 

Our sympathy goes out the Kuisle family.  Richard was know by many out on the mat and his service to the sport of Wrestling will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to all those in Richard's life, all those he loved and all those who loved him. Richard left us all too soon. He was a giant, kind, funny, sweet, and sometimes gruff man who lived a life of service to others. He was a "get-it-done" kind of guy who was there for you no matter what. He was a fantastic dad who raised amazing kids. He leaves a legacy of kindness, love and big-hearted support - a role model to watch and emulate in so many ways. He was an angel of mine, doing so much physical work and even more importantly, always ready with a smile and hug and immediate support - no matter what. An angel in work boots. An angel with a hammer, saw, drill and tape. An angel who could fix almost anything. An angel with wisecracks on his lips. An angel who could brighten any day with his smile and bear hugs. He is so deeply missed in this realm. I am convinced he is now supporting and loving us all from behind the scenes in profound and significant ways. 

our deepest sympathy to the entire Kuisle family. Your loss is a great one,Rich will be missed by many.

Richard we have been blessed to have you in the wrestling family of SE MN. Our thoughts are with the whole Kuisle family as we approach another season. It won't be the same without Richard. Thanks you for the memories you made,  the years of service to the sport, and to joy you brought to others.
