Frank Kurzawa, Jr., 80, of Holmdel passed away early Friday morning surrounded by his family.

Frank was born and raised in South Amboy and graduated from Oratory Prep High School in Summit, NJ.  He then went on to Fordham University, eventually transferring to Johns Hopkins University. He graduated from the American Academy McAllister Institute for Funeral Service and joined his father, Frank Sr., in their family business, Kurzawa Funeral Home.  In addition to operating the original Kurzawa Funeral Home in South Amboy, he expanded the business, adding another location in Sayreville, NJ.  He would work for 50 years as a funeral director before his retirement 5 years ago.

Frank took great pride and joy in serving on the Board of Directors for Amboy National Bank and serving as President of the Board of Governors at South Amboy Memorial Hospital.  In 1994, he was named Business Leader of the Year for South Amboy by the Old Bridge, Sayreville and South Amboy Chamber of Commerce.

Unquestionably, Frank’s greatest joy was his family. He treasured spending time with them on vacations to Bermuda and at his summer home in Sea Bright. He took great pride in seeing them all graduate from college and graduate school. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing, gardening and working on home repair projects in his basement workshop.

Frank is survived by his loving wife Dolores of Holmdel; his children Mark Kurzawa of Marlton, Matthew Kurzawa and his wife Jennifer of Freehold and Luke Kurzawa and his wife Jaclyn of Tinton Falls; his sisters Carole Kurtz and Colette Kurzawa; and his beloved grandchildren Tyler, Cole, Kate, Bradley, Paige, Grace and Abigail.
