Edward Krieger Obituary
TIPP CITY — Edward "Ed" Michael Krieger, 79 of Tipp City, passed away late Monday Evening, September 7, 2015 surrounded by family at the Genesis Healthcare Center in Troy during his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes victory over Virginia Tech.
He was born March 12, 1936 in Ginghamsburg to the late Edward and Mary Krieger. On October 9, 1998, Ed married Virginia "Ginny" Krieger and she preceded him in death on March 31, 2013. Ginny was preceded in death by her daughter, Cathy Pommeranz. Her son, Monte (Tesa) Henderson and two granddaughters Abby Henderson and Carri (Ethan) Twigg survive.
Ed is survived by his three sons: Michael (Cindy) Krieger of Fruitport, Michigan, Kortney Krieger of Tipp City and Andrew (Nichole) of Daytona Beach Shores, Florida; two grandsons, Nick (Lauren) Goubeaux and Kyle Krieger and one granddaughter, Katelyn Krieger. Ed is also survived by one sister Mary Ann (Tim) Yetter and two nieces, Leslie Yetter and Lauren (Dan) Trent.
Ed was a 1954 graduate of Tippecanoe High School. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1954 thru 1957, achieving the rank of Sergeant before transferring to the Marine Corps Reserve. After briefly attending The Ohio State University, he completed an apprenticeship, embarking on a fifty-plus year career installing flooring, ultimately starting his own business. An avid fisherman, he often traveled with friends and family to Canada, Lake Erie and Tennessee in search of trophy walleye and crappie. He channeled his love for sports through his sons and grandchildren, faithfully attending their football, wrestling, cross-country, track and soccer competitions. Ed could often be seen taking long rides with his best friends in his red cargo van throughout Miami County and beyond and enjoyed visiting his friends at the Tipp City VFW.
Ed and Ginny donated their bodies to the Wright State University School of Medicine Anatomical Gift Program.
