Edward Olichny

Our Dad went peacefully home to his Lord and Saviour on the morning of October 21, 2025--he was 92 yrs old.

Ed was born in Hythe, AB to Steve and Aranka Olichny in 1933; he was the 2nd oldest of 6 children. His early years were in the Peace River area until he made the move to Prince George, BC in 1968 with his wife Muriel and their young family. He has resided there ever since.

After 11 successful years with Erwin Homes Ltd., Ed decided to venture out on his own and started Tropical Recreation which later became Tropical Pool & Spa. His company received Beachcomber Dealer of the Year several times, Award of Excellence 10 times and many other awards which spoke to his customer centred focus and his business integrity. The business was sold upon his decision to retire in his late 60’s.

Perhaps one of our Dad's greatest legacy will be the time and effort he poured into people. He wanted to know a person’s perspective and truly get to know them.

Ed loved his family, his friends and people in general (he would never turn down a good conversation!) and he passionately loved the Lord.

Ed is predeceased by his dear wife Muriel. He is survived by their three children Lorne (Lana), Dennis (Denise), Carolynn (Terry); 11 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren and his youngest sister Mar (Margie) Cobb.

A Funeral Service will be held on November 7th, 2025 at 3:00 pm with reception immediately to follow at Lakewood Alliance Church, Prince George, BC
