Richard Kovalycsik, age 57 of Wayne died on Thursday, March 18, 2010 with his family by his side.
Rich was born in Passaic and lived his early childhood in West Milford, New Jersey before moving to Garfield. He graduated from Garfield High School in 1971. He later received a bachelor’s degree from Ramapo College.
It was during high school in Garfield that he met Cindy Amos, his high school sweetheart. They were married in 1975 and honeymooned at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. They enjoyed over thirty four years of loving and caring marriage together. They moved to Wayne in 1977 to raise their family and have lived there ever since.
Rich was currently working at Schindler Elevator in Morristown, NJ. He began his career with Harcourt Brace Jovanovich where he worked for nearly ten years before moving to Westinghouse where he worked in the elevator division.
Most importantly, Rich was devoted to his family. He loved to cook for them and anything he put on the grill turned out great. He was a huge Giants fan and attended many games over the years. He also loved to go fishing; either in a stream, lake, the ocean, or just casting off the beach, fishing was sure to put a smile on his face.
Rich is survived by his beloved wife Cindy (Amos) of Wayne, his son; Nicholas Kovalycsik of Denville, his daughter; Bethany Kovalycsik of Mamaroneck, New York, and seven nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Rhoda Garland of Clifton, in 2007.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Rich’s name are asked to consider The Last Resort Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, 139 Point Breeze Drive, Hewitt, NJ, or visit: www.TheLastResortRescue.com. The Last Resort was a special place to Rich as he and Cindy just recently adopted two puppies from there; Chip and Cookie.
