Kathy is a lawyer. The couple has one daughter, Kelly, an artist, and one son, Jeff, who hosts Jeff & Aimee in the Morning on KCYE radio in Las Vegas. Both Kelly and Jeff graduated from Syracuse University. His cousin is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Stephen Kurkjian and Bob Kurkjian who is an engineering teacher at the Learning Prep School in West Newton, MA. On every day of the Major League Baseball season, from 1990 until 2010, Kurkjian cut every MLB box score out of a newspaper and taped them into a spiral notebook. Kurkjian estimates that this daily task, at 15 minutes per day over 20 seasons, consumed 40 days of his life. He stopped doing this due to the lack of newspapers printing box scores.
