Richard Gerald Kusterer of Standish, passed away Monday, December 20, 2021, reuniting with his wife Mary. Friends and loving family called him “Dutch”, Grampa, and Dad.

On November 8, 1958, he married the love of his life Mary Lysaght, known to friends and family as “Rusty”.

Dutch enjoyed family time, hunting, golf, travel, reading, motorcycles, music, and helping others. He worked as a machinist and was an entrepreneur, sole proprietor of Kuster Tool in Pinconning for many years. Dutch leaves many cherished memories and lovingly referred to young folks as “the new crop coming up” with his contagious smile.
