Edward Croghan Obituary

Edward B. Croghan, age 78, of Clinton, died unexpectedly on Wednesday June 12, 2024, from a sudden Heart Attack.

He was born in Utica, on October 19, 1945, a son of the late John J. and Catherine “Kate” Doherty Croghan and was a graduate of Notre Dame High School. On June 24, 1972, he was married to Linda Vivenzo in Blessed Sacrament Church, sharing a loving and blessed union of 52 years. They were blessed with a remarkable daughter Trinity Mar-Katie Croghan who was Edd’s heart along with her pup Chuleta, which he adored.

Edd had a long and respected career as an engineer with Western Electric/AT&T before his retirement. His greatest enjoyments were being at home, reading the NY papers with his coffee, his 5 am gym time, the New York Yankees, skydiving and the love of family and friends.

Croghan; his in-laws Kathy Dyble, Joseph Jr., and Elise Vivenzo and Lynne Croghan and several nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
