Michael J. Krukowski, III 69, of Bensalem, PA, passed away Sunday, September 28, 2025. Born in Princeton, he grew up in Cranbury, NJ. He worked for Princeton Nursery for several years and later retired from Trap Rock Industries where he worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator. Michael loved nature, gardening, camping, and the outdoors. He also loved his vehicles and took great pride in maintaining and detailing them.

Michael and his partner, Ted, spent much time at what he called his home away from home, Muddy Run Campground and took joy in maintaining an Airstream camper as a return seasonal visitor. Its location, in the heart of Pennsylvania farmlands, brought him back to his childhood in the farmlands of Cranbury, NJ. Here he created a spot of beauty that the whole campground could enjoy. Michael loved life and love people. He would do anything for anyone just to help out and to make that person smile.

Son of the late Ruth E. and Michael J. Kruskowski, II, he was predeceased by his infant brother, Robert and by his sister, Karen Krukowski. Michael is survived by his soulmate and companion of 35 years, Ted Williams of Bensalem; his sister, Linda Briggs of Bordentown, NJ; his brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Leigh Ann Krukowski of Ponte Vedra, Fl as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
