Richard “Al” Kuser, age 85, of Wayne, passed Wednesday, May 31, 2017.
He was born in Orange, NJ to Thurlow and Anna Kuser. He was raised in Lincoln Park, NJ and was a graduate of Boonton High School.
After graduating from high school Al worked as a Radio Repairman. In 1952, he enlisted in the US Navy. He served during the Korean War aboard the USS Pittsburgh CA72 and was honorably discharged on April 20, 1956, having received the Navy Occupation Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the China Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal for his service. He was proud to have served his country.
Al was a Letter Carrier for the US Postal Service in the Packanack Lake community of Wayne for 32 years before retiring in 1994.
He will be remembered as a loving and easy going guy. He was a kind, gentle and strong person who had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. He loved all kinds of animals, especially horses. Al was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed family summer vacations in Wildwood Crest at the Jersey Shore where he enjoyed swimming in the ocean, digging giant holes in the sand, making boats and cars in the sand for his kids and grandkids. He enjoyed his time with his grandchildren and was the kind of grandpa that would climb down onto the floor and play with the kids.
Married for 61 years, he was the loving husband of Joan (Portacolone) Kuser; devoted father of Debbie Pecchioni and her husband Ray of Flower Mound, TX, Janet Komarnicki and her husband George of Millis, MA, and Karen Kuser of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Raymond Pecchioni, Kyle Komarnicki, Casey Komarnicki, and Ana Kuser; dear brother of Barbara Jennings of Richmond, IN, and the late Thurlow “Buddy"Kuser and Robert “Bobby” Kuser; much loved brother-in-law of Art Porta of Butler, Helen Kuser of Butler and Irene Kuser of Boulder, CO; he was dearly loved by many nieces and nephews.
