Michael Krivak “Mickey” age 75 passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2009 at Vegas Valley Rehabilitation Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. His passing was quiet and peaceful after receiving the loving care of his wife Mary who was constantly at his bedside.
He was born in Highland, Pennsylvania and spent his formative years in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Mike received his formal education at Hazelton Grammar School and then Hazelton High School graduating with the Class of 1952. After High School he joined the Marine Corp and served his six year hitch with great pride. He often stated that “Once a Marine Always a Marine”.
He was employed at Consolidated Freight Company in Newark as a truck driver and later as the company dispatcher for twenty years before his retirement in 1996. He very much enjoyed his work.
Mickey had a long struggle with his health including chronic diabetes that eventually resulted in his demise. We have to say that his passing was a great relief to a new day for him. Perhaps a blessing of relief for him after his long and tenuous struggle with health issues.
He leaves his family with wonderful memories of a family man with a quiet nature who liked people and was a good social mixer that had lots of friends. To say he was a New York Giants fan is an understatement. He, was a loud and boisterous fan, is perhaps a better description causing him to be the New York Giants No. 1 fan.
His grandson Michael A.. Payne recalls wonderful memories of grandpa taking him to New York Giants football games.
Mickey was extremely proud of his grandson and all of his accomplishment. Especially his most recent, graduation from Passaic County Fire Academy and becoming a volunteer firefighter for the Packanack Lake Fire Co. #5.
Mickey met, thru a mutual acquaintance in 1956, a pretty girl named Mary Ulichny and he was smitten. While serving his country as a Marine he married Mary on November 28, 1959 and they had fifty years of “fantastic marriage” together.
Their first house purchase was in Ridgefield Park and they later lived in Garfield, Saddle Brook and then Clifton for thirty years. They decided on moving to Las Vegas to spend their retirement years.
Surviving are his loving wife Mary Frances Krivak (nee Ulichny); one daughter Michele Payne and her husband Joseph Cicala of Wayne; one son Michael A. Krivak of Indian Springs, Nevada; two brothers Milton Krivak and his wife Martha of Lodi, John Krivak and his wife Mairilyn of Warminster, Pennsylvania; a sister Anna Sessock of Cedar Knolls, NJ and one grandson Michael A. Payne of Wayne.
His sister Mary McLeod died earlier.
