George H. Kuykendall, 81, of Haddonfield

The Reverend Dr. George Henry Kuykendall Jr., of Haddonfield, New Jersey, passed away on June 16, 2026, at the age of 81, with his beloved wife, Joyce, by his side.

George was born on July 3, 1944, in Mocksville, North Carolina, to George and Jane Kuykendall. He grew up in Charlotte with his sister Jane and graduated from Davidson College. He later earned a Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) in Systematic Theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 1967, George married Joyce Bynum in Atlanta. They shared fifty-nine years of marriage.

George’s early years at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC, were formative. He was baptized and confirmed, and later mentored by the Rev. Dr. Daniel Durway. Early ministry experiences during the tumultuous late 1960s resulted in lifelong friendships, influenced George’s call to seminary, and shaped his enduring academic passion.

George’s life was marked by faith, learning, and teaching. Over the course of his career, he taught and served in a variety of settings, including St. Mary’s Seminary, St. Mary’s Ecumenical Institute, Fordham University, Suffern Presbyterian Church, Collingswood Presbyterian Church, and Cape May County Technical School. He loved teaching best, and he brought to it a deep seriousness about ideas, language, faith, and the life of the mind.

Donald J. Hart, Jr., 56, of Oaklyn

On June 12th, 2026, the world lost Donald J. Hart, Jr., suddenly and unexpectedly at Virtua-Lourdes Hospital in Camden. He left us only 3 days after his 56th birthday. He will be sorely missed by his endlessly devoted wife, Sandra (nee Worthington) Hart, his two proud sons, Max and Donnie Hart, his loving parents, Don Hart, Sr., and Libby (nee Geddes) Hart, and his loyal brother, Steve Hart, and sister-in-law, Jenn (nee Wipf) Hart. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law Bob, Dave, and Jim Worthington, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, neighbors, colleagues, and friends.

Don was well-known and well-loved in town. During his time coaching for Oaklyn Cougars Football, he was a kind voice on the coaching staff for whichever member of the team needed it. In his involvement with Collingswood Panthers Wrestling, he stayed through days-long tournaments to cheer on the team. When any of his son’s friends was in need of a good dad, he was eager to be shared and filled the role beautifully. He was a fierce protector not just of us, but of anyone who truly needed it.

We will miss his sharp mind, endless wit, and ability to lighten any situation with a well-timed joke. We will never forget the passion he brought to his interests and hobbies, from casual fun like cheering on the Flyers and rocking out to Metallica to finer things in life like handmade cocktails and muscle cars. We will do our best to carry forward his curiosity towards the world and his deep desire to understand and experience all that life has to offer. We will learn, somehow, to fill his role as someone who never sat back and tolerated injustice.

Please join us to celebrate his life and memory on Friday, June 19th, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. His service will be held at McGee Celebration Creran Funeral Home, 400 White Horse Pike, Oaklyn, NJ. A gravesite tribute will immediately follow at Arlington-Bethel Cemetery, 1620 Cove Road, Pennsauken.
