Leonard F. Kulikoski, age 88, of New Port Richey, passed away February 16, 2019. He was born March 27, 1930 to John Kulikoski and Helen Pacheiski in Nanticoke, PA. Leonard came to the area in 1978 from Babylon, NY. He was a proud Navy veteran as well as a retired distribution clerk of the US Postal Service.

Leonard spent his life in service of others. This was most evident in the sweet devotion he showed his late wife from the moment they met to the day she passed away. He cared for her deeply and truly. Leonard was amazing. He loved animals and chocolate, and had a great sense of humor. After retiring, he spent his days tinkering and enjoying the simple pleasures life has to offer. He was a former member of both the VFW in Veteran’s Village and the Asbury United Methodist Church.

Leonard is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helga. He is survived by his sister, Geraldine Konia; his nieces, Helga Wenzel and Edna Hoaglan; many great nieces and nephews; and his dear friends.

A gathering of family and friends will be held at Michels & Lundquist Funeral Home on Friday, February 22, 2019 from 10am to 11am. Military Honors will be presented at 11am by American Legion Paradise Post #79.

Arrangements are under the direction of Michels & Lundquist Funeral Home.
