He knew no stranger, striking up conversations with anyone with whom he crossed paths. Mr. Kuhlman participated in the 1958 Blue Gold All Star game, an accomplishment he loved to recall. He liked playing the slots and watching westerns and held a special place in his heart for his loyal Brittany dogs. Above all, he cherished time spent with those he held most dear, especially supporting his grandchildren at their sporting events and watching them grow. Mr. Kuhlman was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. In addition to his parents, Mr. Kuhlman was preceded in death by his brothers: Charles Kuhlman and Edward Kuhlman; and his sisters: Jean Lovell and Ruth Kuhlman. He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Marie (Rogers) Kuhlman of Seaford, DE; his son Brett Kuhlman and his wife Amy of Milton, DE; his grandchildren: Katie Kuhlman and Cody Kuhlman, both of Milton, DE; and his many nieces and nephews.
