Tulsie Guman Obituary

Mr. Tulsie Guman passed away peacefully at his home in Somerset on Thursday, April 17th, 2025. He was 87 years old.
Born in Port Mourant, Guyana, Mr. Guman was raised by his parents, Ganesh and Sukhia Guman, in a loving home alongside twelve siblings. The Guman family was well known in their community for their pottery (goblet) and clay-making business, where Tulsie began working at a young age. He started his working life at just 13 years old and went on to become both a train and truck driver in Guyana.
In March 1959, Tulsie married the love of his life, Sumintra Lookenauth. Together, they raised six children and built a life rooted in devotion, hard work, and family. In 1981, the Guman family immigrated to the United States, settling first in the Bronx, NY. In 1988, they purchased a home in the Somerset section of Franklin Township, NJ, where they continued to build their legacy.
Throughout his years in America, Mr. Guman worked in a variety of roles including as a security guard for Merrill Lynch, in steel shipping, and in bus maintenance. His work ethic, humility, and dedication were evident in all that he did.
Mr. Guman was predeceased by eleven of his siblings, his beloved wife Sumintra after 63 years of marriage, and his son Rajpaul Guman.
He is survived by his loving children: Charan Guman, Indira Guman and her husband Rajendra, Rukmini Sukhram and her husband Rusty, Prahalad Guman and his wife Janet, and Birbahadur Guman and his wife Savita. He is also survived by his sister Katie Ramcharit, 17 cherished grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. He will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew him.
