The Pack man: Kuchenbecker remembered for being lifelong Packer fan, giving to NCHS

February 3, 2011

As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, a longtime resident in Catawba County is remembered.

Ron Kuchenbecker, who passed away on Sept. 24, 2009, was a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan that lived in Newton. His team will face the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday at Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas.

“We miss ‘Kuch’,” said former N-C athletic director Don Patrick. “He was a big fan for the Red Devils, but he was the epitome of a Green Bay Packer fan.”
