Roy Kulcsar Obituary
Born and raised in New York City to Ruth and John Kulcsar, Roy was an avid animal lover and a devoted Yankees fan. A dedicated attorney, he spent every moment outside the courtroom supporting his three boys, taking immense pride in their athletic achievements. He never missed a game whether driving to Oradell Avenue to watch his sons play at Bergen Catholic or traveling to Springfield, Massachusetts, to cheer on Chris at Springfield College.
Roy's generosity and genuine character left a lasting impact on the Haworth community, where he lived for many years and formed lifelong friendships. A faithful parishioner at Sacred Heart, he lived by a guiding principle he often shared with others: "Do the right thing, because it's the right thing."
Those who knew Roy will remember his warm presence, unwavering kindness, and sincere spirit. His legacy endures through the love he gave, the values he instilled, and the countless lives he touched.
A celebration of Roy's life will be held on Friday, November 28, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Frech-McKnight Funeral Home, 161 Washington Avenue, Dumont, NJ. A Funeral Mass will be offered on Saturday, November 29, at 9:00 AM at Sacred Heart R.C. Church, 102 Park Street, Haworth, NJ. Interment will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 10 West Stevens Avenue, Hawthorne, NY.

I just saw this notice by chance since I have lived in California for over 50 years. I worked with Roy in the District Attorney´s Office in New York. He was a charming, kind and generous man. It´s too long a story to tell but my closet is full of beautifully framed diplomas and certificates I don´t hang any more, which Roy had framed for me because he insisted I needed the best. He was a great friend and colleague during those years. My condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear. I worked closely with Roy when he was an Assistant District Attorney in the Frauds Bureau of the Manhattan District Attorney´s Office under legendary DA Frank Hogan. Actually, Roy was a bit of a legend of his own. Always seen driving his 2 seater M/B convertible with NY vanity plates RRK-55. Proud to call him a friend. RIP!
