Patrick Allen Kulinski ascended into Heaven on Friday, July 19, 2024, at age 71. Loving husband of Nancy Kulinski. Cherished father of Kimberly (Joseph) Weber, Jacquelyn Kulinski (Christopher Bermudez), Angela (Lee) Tunnell, Kristina Johnson, and Matthew (Anna) Kulinski. Proud grandpa of 11 (Gabriel, Jude, Elliot, Alyssa, Abigail, Ariana, Ashley, Jake, Jenna, Tyler, and Ava). Further survived by other family and friends. Reunited in Heaven with his parents, Lucille and Larry, and his favorite German shorthair pointers, Dylan and Kody.
Born in Dubuque, Iowa, Patrick and family moved to Wisconsin when he was just 4 years old. He grew up with a large family (brothers Gary, Dave, Dennis, and Don and sisters Sharon and Susan), attended Bayview High School and eventually took coursework and an apprenticeship as a machinist. He married Nancy in 1978, and they were blessed to welcome five children into the world. Pat and Nancy recently celebrated their 46th anniversary.
He spent his career working at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District where he made many long-lasting friendships. He appreciated the outdoors – fishing, hunting, gardening, lawn care, boating, hiking with the dogs, sledding, and swimming. He was truly a do-it-yourself guy and always figured out how to fix anything. He will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his incredible work ethic, and his no bullshit attitude.
Visitation from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, followed by a service at 12:00 PM, at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin. Private interment at Pinelawn Memorial Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to The Association for Frontotemporal Dementia.
