Francis (Frank) P. Kosuda, 79, longtime resident of Colonia, New Jersey
Passed away on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at RWJ Hospital, Rahway, NJ
Frank was born August 2, 1943 to Catherine (Narvicz) and Frank Kosuda in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was the younger brother of the late Ceil (Barbara) Medway and the late Irene Kulesh.
He moved to Elizabeth, NJ as a child where he attended St. Adalbert’s School and Sacred Heart High School.
After High School he pursued his career working in the waste management industry.
He became part owner of Newark Carting for many years before finishing his career at Waste Management, retiring in 2019.
Frank is survived by his Loving Wife of 49 years, Susan (Fiala) Kosuda and by his children: daughter, Renee (Kosuda) Santos (former spouse Elvia J. Whelan) and her husband Mike; son, Frank Kosuda and his wife Vicki; daughter, Teresa Kosuda; and son, Tim Kosuda and his wife Jennifer.
Frank was a loving uncle to his many nieces and nephews and a devoted Dziadziu to his Grandchildren: Michael, Tyler, Matthew, Vanessa, TJ and Madison.
Frank was an avid golfer and bowler. He also shared a strong affection towards animals. Especially the families’ pets, including many of his own.
Frank’s greatest enjoyment came from his relationship with Jesus Christ. He was an active and devoted member of Evangel Church in Scotch Plains, NJ. He absolutely loved to be a part of Greeting Services and making everyone smile as they arrived at church.
Frank became an immediate friend to anyone he met, he would do anything for anyone. His infectious humor, wit, jokes and storytelling were also a part of what made him so special. He was so proud to be called Husband, Dad and Dziadziu.
