Paul Richard Kuchar (“Zipper”), 61, of Edmore, ND, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of hard work, laughter, and more good deeds than can be counted.
Paul was born on July 13, 1964, in Langdon , ND. He spent his life working hard and being there for the people around him. A graduate of Edmore High School, Paul lived and worked in Edmore his entire life. He began his career at Nelson ‘s Body Shop , then worked at the Edmore Elevator (CHS), and was employed at North Prairie Ag (Farmers Union) at the time of his passing.
One of Paul’s favorite spots was the Beer:30 Bar uptown, where he spent many evenings enjoying time with friends in his comfort zone. If you entered the bar as a stranger, you likely left as a friend-because you left knowing Paul.
