Frank Kukurin dies in Florida

Return Home
July 12, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Frank Kukurin, 57, whose family campaigned the 1970s pacing star Whata Baron, died July 3 at the home of his sister Judy in Pembroke Pines, Fla. He was 57.
 
Mr. Kurkurin and his family, including his father, Peter and mother Margaret, traveled from track to track from their home in the Pittsburg area to follow Whata Baron’s racing career. Although they sold the pacer Jeanette and Edward Friedberg before some of his Meadowlands victories in the late 1970s, photos of the Kurkurin family with Whata Baron are in the new “A Drive To Win” exhibit that was recently unveiled at the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame.
 
Frank Kurkurin also campaigned the pacer Boone And Crockett p,3, 1:53 ($266,957) and earlier in this decade worked as a television commentator on the Meadows Racing Network with Roger Huston.
 
Funeral services were held in the Fort Lauderdale area on July 10.
