Emil Edward Hrycenko, 72, of Little Egg Harbor, NJ, passed away on Saturday, November 29, 2025.
Born in Elizabeth, Emil spent most of his life in Roselle Park, where he and his wife raised their family, before settling in Little Egg Harbor in 2021. He was a proud and dedicated electrician with IBEW Local 102.

A true hands-on craftsman, Emil built a vacation home for his family in Osborn Island and always had a project under way. He loved gardening, painting, boating and sunset rides on his motorcycle.
