He was born on June 14, 1931, in Independence, PA, to his loving parents, Edmund and Virginia (nee Flori) Kolycheck. After graduating from Brownsville High School in Pennsylvania, Class of 1949, he joined the Marine Corps and served his country honorably in the Korean War. Edmond married the love of his life, Eleanor Rose (nee Gargano) on September 6, 1954 and together they raised three children. He pursued his passion for science and engineering at Case Western Reserve, where he earned his Master’s Degree. His dedication to his studies and his natural talent for problem-solving set him on a path to a successful career as a Chemical Engineer. Edmond joined BF Goodrich in 1959 and he served the company with distinction until his retirement in 1994. He was a member of St. Peter Parish in Lorain, loved watching the Pittsburg Steelers, and was an avid gardener.
