Final Salute

Kryn D. Bosland, 77

May 9, 1944 – April 30, 2022

Mr. Kryn D. Bosland, 77, died peacefully on April 30, 2022 in Vero Beach.

Kryn was born in Haledon, New Jersey to Elizabeth Husveth Bosland and Kryn Bosland on May 9, 1944.

He graduated from Manchester Regional High School and served in the United States Navy in Iceland as a Seabee. After his service, he shared with his brother Bruce Bosland the ownership and operation of Bosland’s Hardware on Belmont Avenue. Later he owned another hardware store in Midland Park, New Jersey, and then joined his wife Marilyn in the operation of Bosland’s Learning Plus, a parent-teacher store with several locations including Saddle Brook and Wall Township, New Jersey. He loved to travel and was fond of the “cabin” he built in the Adirondacks where many summers were spent.

Kryn was active in his church and did a prison ministry for Kairos at Rahway Prison. He was a community person, a former councilman and zoning board member in Haledon, and continued his service in the borough through 2007. He enjoyed spending time in the country and cooking for friends and family. He was a man whose life experience and knowledge taught so many others by his example.

He lived with love, and he impacted those who knew him with a life of worth.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Marilyn; brother Bruce Bosland (Janice) of New York State; stepsons, Michael Velasquez (Brandee) and Anthony Velasquez; grandchildren, Adam, Evan, and Ava, all of New Jersey. In addition, he is survived by many loving friends and family.
