Richard Gustafson Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Richard Gustafson (Bloomfield, New Jersey), who passed away on May 11, 2026, at the age of 67, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Richard Gustafson to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Richard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Richard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Richard A. Gustafson and Barbara Clapp Gustafson; his wife Phyllis King; and his daughter Jennifer Gustafson. He was also cherished by his family and numerous friends.
Visitation will be held on Monday, May 18th 2026 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Halpin - Bitecola Brookdale Funeral and Cremation Service (1284 Broad St, Bloomfield, NJ 07003).
