A celebration of Kurt’s life will be held at the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne, on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 from 4-8 PM.
Kurt G. Kabula, age 81 of Wilmington, DE, formerly of Wayne, NJ passed away on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.
Kurt was born in Teupitz, Germany and came to America in 1956, where he worked as a tool maker in New York City. In 1959 he began his career as a machinist with Atlas Machine in Rutherford, NJ for 40 years.
He enjoyed playing Nintendo, chess and bowling in addition to taking walks. He loved to travel, especially taking road trips anywhere. He enjoyed watching professional wrestling and monster truck shows, listening to country music and the occasional beer. He had a very creative, inventive mind and loved to tinker in the garage.
Most of all he enjoyed laughing and making others laugh as well by telling his jokes and stories. His favorite thing of all was spending time with his family and friends.
Lovingly known as "Pop's" by most and "Opa" by family, he adored his two grandchildren; Trent and Maggie. He is also survived by his two children; son, Curt and his wife Marguerite Kabula of Wayne, NJ and daughter Barbara and her husband Scott Grill of Wilmington, DE., sister Inge and her husband Guenther of Germany, as well as extended family.
In lieu of flowers and in recognition of the difficult time dementia played in Pop's life over the last ten years, the family requests donations be made in Kurt's name to the Alzheimer's Association, Delaware Chapter, 240 N. James Street, Suite 100A, Newport, DE 19804.
