Harvey W. Kuntz, 77, of Billings, formerly of Circle, died March 5, 2022, at his home in Billings. He was born May 17, 1944, in Dickinson, N.D., to Monica and John Kuntz. He and Monica, along with their seven children, moved to Circle in 1959 to operate the Husky Station. In 1962, at the age of 18, he enlisted in the United States Navy to serve his country. A portion of his four years of service aboard the U.S.S. John W. Thomason DD-760 was spent with his brother, Squeak. Many a story has been told about their time together. Following his years of service, he returned to Circle to find employment and eventually part ownership of the Husky Station. One day, he saw Patsy walking home from the Tastee Freeze and engaged her in conversation — thus began their 52 years of wedded bliss. To this union, six children were born. When not working at the station, he and the family spent endless enjoyable hours at the lake house at Rock Creek catching “carp” and just enjoying one another. After their children graduated, he and Patsy Ann made the decision to move to Billings. He was a family man, who enjoyed spending time with his family above all else. It was very evident that his grandchildren meant the world to him and spending time with them may have been his favorite. He was a very kind-hearted man, whose inner warmth and sparkle in his eyes would make any stranger feel welcome. It’s been said that “he would talk as long as someone would listen” and maybe even beyond at times. He was preceded in death by daughters, Londa and Brenda; son, John; granddaughter, Chaela; and brothers, Leonard and Perry. He is survived by his wife, Patsy Ann of Billings; son, Travis Kuntz of Kinsey; daughters, Jennifer Sperry of Newbury Park, Calif., and Amber Massey of Katy, Texas; and son, Hunter; eight grandchildren; sisters, Toots Haynie, Bonnie Gardner and Sandee Dean; and brother, Ray Kuntz. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 2, at 12:30 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church of Circle, followed by a military burial at the Riverview Cemetery.
