Jerry W. Krejcie, 63, (photo) of 429 North Ninth street, garage operator in
Manitowoc for many years, died Saturday night at his home.
He died suddenly of a heart attack Christmas eve as he entertained a visitor,
Walter Gerbinsky, Washington street businessman, who had called to extend the
season’s greetings.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Urbanek and Schlei
funeral home, the Rev. C. H. Phipps officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen
cemetery.
He was born in Melnik in 1886 and spent his early life in that community. In
1911 he married Miss Mary Velicer at Stangelville. She died 28 years ago. In
1934 he married Miss Barbara Velicer.
For a few years after his first marriage he operated a tavern in Maribel and
then came to Manitowoc to engage in the garage business on Commercial street.
Four years ago a new garage was built at York and Sixth streets with his sons
taking over the business.
Mr. Krejcie was a professional locksmith and established a reputation for
opening safes that baffled all others. He was active in Maribel and then came
to Manitowoc to engage in the garage business on Commercial street. Four years
ago a new garage was built at York and Sixth streets with his sons taking over
the business.
He was active in the County Fish and Game Protective association and a member
of the C.B.J. lodge in this city.
Survivors are his wife; two sons, Edwin and Clarence of this city; daughter,
Mrs. Stanley Andrastek of this city; two brothers, Emil and Edward of this city;
and three grandchildren.
Friends may call at the funeral home until the hour of services.
