Val's large family and community say goodbye to this honorable, loving, generous man. Valentine was born on July 19, 1926, in Regent, North Dakota, to Rosa and Jacob Kuntz.

He learned the craft of carpentry and established Kuntz Construction in 1963 building and remodeling many homes in the area, while, operating the Geyser Cabins in West Yellowstone, Montana, during the summer months. His boundless energy and his sense of humor are most memorable, as well as his talent of painting and refurbishing antique Dodge cars. In his final years he began writing his memoirs. The love of his faith and his determination to build a Catholic Church in Belgrade was completed in 1983, his proudest accomplishment.
