Richard Kuska

Richard Dick Val Kuska Lover of Beauty Dick passed beyond pain on June 28, 2013 at his home in Taos, New Mexico. Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1929, he graduated from Benson High School, The University of Nebraska (where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity) and Harvard Business School. Dick's passion for art and beauty was reflected throughout his life: from a successful marketing career and appreciation for Southwestern Art to his love of gardening and the starry night skies of Taos. He leaves behind the true loves of his life: his wife of 61 years, Marcia, their two daughters, Ann Derr and Mary Knight, their husbands Mike Derr and David Knight, and his four grandchildren: Adam and Amanda Derr and Samuel and Mia Knight. Dick/Dad/Grandpa: may you find love, peace and most important, beauty on your next journey.
