Obituary

Joseph Krichevsky passed away on the afternoon of September 6th, 2024 peacefully surrounded by his wife and children. Coach K lived an extremely full life. He came into this world on October 6th, 1934. He was an Army Corporal in the Korean War, ran the extremely successful Morris & Sons clothing store, and was a member for many years of Twin Orchard Country Club where he enjoyed golf and gin rummy with his vast group of friends.

But his greatest accomplishment was achieved on February 16th, 1958 when he married the love of his life Marlene Paust. Over 66 wonderful years of marriage Joey and Marlene enjoyed travel, friends and raised 3 children, Wendy (Scott), Bennett ( Norie) and Leslie (Steve) and enjoyed such a loving, close and respectful relationship. Joey and Marlene passed on their love of everything in life to their grandchildren, Dana (Jake), Dylan, Max (Margaret) and Maggie (Jacob).

Joey was the best role model to everyone, and his sense of humor and love of family will be greatly missed. However, in true Coach K fashion and an ode to his favorite song of all time, he left this world My Way.
