He was 88.
Mr. Krichko was born Oct. 11, 1927, in Sharon, a son of George and Sophie Matheidas Krichko.
He was a graduate of Hickory High School and served with the Army Signal Corp. as a field lineman during WW II.
Ed retired as a group leader from the former Sharon Transformer Division of Westinghouse Electric Corp. where he was employed for more than 40 years.
He was a lifelong member and former deacon at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Hermitage.
A 32 nd degree Free and Accepted Mason, Ed was a member of the former Sharon Lodge # 250 and a current member of the Kedron Lodge # 389, West Middlesex.

Ed was a member of the American Legion, Post 0135; and the Chief Cornplanter, Post 135, both Warren, PA. An outdoorsman, Ed was an avid hunter for many years, particularly in the area of the Allegheny Mountains where he built his second home. He had a love for fishing and enjoyed spending time with his fishing buddies on Lake Erie.
He also had a green thumb for growing just about anything in a garden and enjoyed sharing his produce with family and friends. He loved ballroom dancing at the Avon Oaks Ballroom in Warren, Ohio.
