James Kriston Obituary

James "Jim" Robert Kriston October 4, 1937 - October 3, 2023 Daddy, you will be missed! Before I came along, your parents Pauline and Alex Kriston and twin brother Bill watched you grow. As a West End kid and 1956 Scott HS graduate, you made quite an impression. You spent 4 years in the Navy, returning to Coatesville to work and eventually retire from Philadelphia Electric. You married Patty Bilka in 1962 and 5 years later, I completed our family. You will always be remembered for your humor, talents, and especially your "knittery." Forever loved by me, my husband Tom Loughery; your sister-in-law Toni Longenecker and nephews Tom and Mark Mascuilli; brother Bill and sister-in-law Donna, and nephew Billy. We will honor your life and memory on December 6th. Details found on the Harris-Mountain website. Thank you again, Dad- until we meet again! Love always, Michelle To view full obituary and send on-line condolences, please visit www.harrismountain.com

Michelle,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. We always had so much fun with him when we were making pierogies and stuffed cabbage at the church. The kindness shown to my parents and aunt by both your Dad and Mom will never be forgotten. May he Rest In Peace. Fondly, Andy Levenite
