LEON A. KULICZKOWSKI OBITUARY
Leon Anthony Kuliczkowski, 78, of Hamilton, NJ, passed away on August 5, 2025, at Greenwood House Senior Healthcare in Ewing. He was born on June 7, 1947, in Blakely, PA, and was a proud resident of the Trenton area throughout his life.
A graduate of Trenton Catholic High School in 1965, Leon dedicated over 37 years to the State of New Jersey, Department of Transportation, where he worked as an Electrical Engineer. He approached his career with the same passion and commitment that he exemplified in all aspects of his life.
Leon’s heart was deeply rooted in community service, particularly in Emergency Medical Services throughout the county. He began his journey with the 11th Zone Volunteer Ambulance Squad while still a young man. His lifelong dedication to helping others continued as he served as a Mercer County Paramedic and an EMT for decades. He remained an active and esteemed Life Member of the Nottingham Ambulance Squad. Over the years at the Squad, he held various leadership roles, including a Line Officer, Executive Officer and as a Trustee. On behalf of the Squad, he also was a representative to the New Jersey State First Aid Council’s Ninth District.
Leon was more than just a dedicated Paramedic/EMT. He was a cornerstone of emergency services throughout Mercer County. His decades of unwavering service, leadership, and mentorship has left an indelible mark on our community.
Leon shared his valuable knowledge with others as an instructor in Emergency Medical Services. Leon instructed recertification classes for Capital Health personnel and he spent countless years selflessly educating and guiding new and experienced EMTs, shaping generations of lifesavers with his knowledge, patience and passion for the field. His legacy will continue to live on in every responder he trained and every life that was touched by his dedication.
Beyond his unwavering commitment to service, Leon was a vibrant and joyful spirit. He was known for his practical jokes and had a great sense of humor. He cherished bowling nights at Hamilton Lanes, especially with his teams on Thursday evenings, and shared many cherished family vacations during his youth. His heart belonged to sports as well, passionately supporting the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles. In this time of reflection, we remember a man who not only served his community with extraordinary dedication, but also filled lives with joy, laughter, and compassion. Leon's spirit will continue to inspire those who knew him, and he will be dearly missed.
Leon was predeceased by his beloved parents, Anthony and Elizabeth (Siarkiewicz) Kuliczkowski and is remembered with love by his dear friends, Laurel MacKenzie and Denise Buchalski, both of Hamilton. He is also survived by his friends and caregivers at Greenwood House, his extended EMS family and numerous cousins.
