Roy Henry Kucks, age 91 of Wayne, died very peacefully on Friday, January 17, 2014.
He was a resident of Packanack Lake since 1954 and in 2001 he moved with his wife to Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains. He was proud to be the third resident to move into the newly constructed Cedar Crest Village.
Roy was born in Hoboken, NJ. Following high school graduation, he served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946 where he was the recipient of the World War II Victory Medal. After the war, he went on to study and graduate from Newark College of Engineering. Roy was an engineer with Hoffmann-La Roche from 1947 until retirement in 1985.
Roy and his wife Virginia had enjoyed over sixty three years of marriage since reciting their vows on July 1, 1950. They were members of the Packanack Community Church in Wayne for many years, up until moving to Cedar Crest. Roy’s hobbies included travel, reading, going for walks, swimming, and watercolor painting.
Roy is survived by his two children; Robert Peter Kucks and his wife Joyce of Golden, CO and Janet Lynn Kucks of Wayne. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Virginia just ten days before his own passing, on January 7, 2014. He was also predeceased by his brother Ronald Kucks.
In lieu of flowers, and in memory of his beloved wife Ginny, those planning an expression of sympathy in Roy’s name are asked to consider the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Grand Central Station, P.O. Box 4777, New York, NY 10163-4777 (www.michaeljfox.org).
