Emil John Kravec

Emil John Kravec, a beloved soul from Monroeville, Pennsylvania, will forever be remembered for his laughter, kindness, and dedication to his craft. Born on September 30, 1954, in Brownsville, PA, he lit up the world around him until he took his leave on January 7, 2025, at Corner View Nursing and Rehabilitation.

Emil, a proud graduate of Duquesne University, embraced life as a self-employed licensed electrician, reflecting his passion for the tangible and the technical. He anchored himself in the community and built connections that created a warm tapestry of friendship and love.

He will be dearly missed by his companion of 39 years, Lou Anne Sokolowski, who stood by his side through thick and thin. He is also survived by his loving sister Fran Ferretti (Denny) of Greensburg, PA, and his brother Emrick Kravec (Meg) of North Myrtle Beach, SC. He was preceded in death by his cherished parents, Martha and Emerick Kravec.

Friends and family will gather to celebrate Emil’s life on Friday, January 10th, at Warren-Glenn Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., located at 62 South Main Street in Union City. A calling hour will take place before the heartfelt service at 12:00 PM, led by Father Thomas Whitman. Following the service, we’ll lay Emil to rest at Saint Teresa Cemetery.

In the weeks and years to come, friends stories of his life are shared, we’ll remember Emil not just for how he lived, but for how he made us feel—through a well-timed joke, a helping hand, and a deep love for family and friends. His memory will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
