Mr. Richard C. Kruysman, age 77 of St. Marys, Ga., passed away on the morning of Thursday, October 28th, 2021 at Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick, Ga.
Richard was born on February 4th, 1944 in Newark, Nj. to the late Arthur and Charlotte Kruysman.

He enjoyed long-time employment in the printing industry as a member of the Amalgamated Lithographers of America (ALA) and also served as a Volunteer Firefighter in Central Nj. An accomplished wood and decoy carver, this “Jersey Boy” at heart, enjoyed his short time living in Georgia where he was always happy to be surrounded by friends, family and neighbors while creating delicious culinary creations and showering his guests with his genuine warmth, hospitality, and incredible sense of humor. He loved to “sea” the world and loved his time spent on a variety of boats and sailing vessels he owned and cherished throughout his life.
He is survived by his loving wife, Lisa (Begin) Kruysman of St. Marys, Ga.; his son, Scott Kruysman of Colonia, Nj.; his sister, Bettyann Pfeifer of Little Egg Harbor, Nj.; his brother, Melvin Kruysman of Port Charlotte, Fl.; his three grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews, in-laws John and Cindy Begin of Hackensack, Nj, his beloved dogs Hooper and Teddy, and a myriad of devoted cousins and friends who will miss him dearly.
Besides his parents, Richard is preceded in passing by his brother, Robert Kruysman.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
To honor his memory, please consider making a donation to your local Salvation Army or Animal Shelter.
Coastal Camden Funeral Home in Kingsland, Ga. is entrusted with Mr. Kruysman’s arrangements.
