Bob Kuechenberg, the longtime former Miami Dolphins great who passed away this past weekend, will be remembered at a private memorial service on Saturday, Jan. 26, in Miami Lakes. No public service open to fans is planned.
The family suggests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Bob Kuechenberg’s name to The Buoniconti Fund, the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Nick Buoniconti and Kuechenberg were Dolphins teammates for six seasons in the 1970s.
Kuechenberg died late Saturday at age 71.
As a decorated Dolphins guard in 1970-84, “Kooch” made six Pro Bowls and was instrumental in the club’s 1972 Perfect Season and second consecutive Super Bowl win in 1973.
