Emil "Eddie" Edward Krejci, Jr.

Born on July 9, 1947, Eddie was the eldest among his siblings born to Emil Krejci, Sr. and Gloria Krejci. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sandy; his brother, Michael Krejci; his parents, Emil, Sr. and Gloria Krejci; as well as his sister, Linda Roark.

Eddie is survived by his cherished daughters, Chaney and Penny; along with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, David (Lyla) Krejci, Karen (Joseph) Brown, Thomas (Thelma) Krejci, Joann (Gene) Sullivan, Kathleen Walter, Marilyn (Brian) Light, Peggy Walter, Richard (Carrie) Krejci, Gary (Barbara) Krejci, Angela Hontz, and Anthony Krejci.

Though Eddie spent his childhood in Calumet Township, he made Hammond his home for the majority of his life. After over 30 years of dedicated service, he retired from Indiana Harbor Belt. A passionate fisherman, Eddie found joy in spending time on the water and cherished his vacations in Tennessee.

Known as a man of few words, Eddie's presence commanded attention, and his words carried weight. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of many who knew and loved him.
