Leonard “Oogie” Krichevsky, z”l, passed away peacefully in Portland on April 7, 2021. Leonard is survived by three sons, Randy, Scott and Brent; eight grandchildren, Brad, Brian, Jake, Jenna, Brandon, Anna, Sammi and Lydia; two great-grandchildren, Lewis and Vivienne; and many other dear family members and friends.
Leonard was born Oct. 21, 1931, to Dave and Freda Krichevsky in Portland. He had one elder sister, Selma. 
Leonard attended Grant High School and, in the fall of 1949, went on to attend the University of Oregon. While at the U of O, Leonard was a member of the rally squad as the head Yell Leader. Leonard was also a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity on campus.
On graduation, Leonard was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served for two years until he was discharged in 1956. On Jan. 1, 1956, Leonard married Jane Newman, also from Portland. Leonard and Jane had three boys Randy, Scott and Brent, and they resided in Beaverton. Leonard cofounded Linoleum City, a Portland landmark, where he worked for many years until he retired. After retirement, Leonard decided he wanted to get back into the workforce. He went on to work for Wanke Cascade and, until his passing, was employed at Contract Furnishings Mart. Leonard loved interacting with his coworkers and helping customers; he was a true mensch.
Leonard was a member of Congregation Shaarie Torah and was a B’nai B’rith Men’s Camper for more than 50 years. Camp meant the world to Leonard. He always looked forward to the time he got to spend there, and he shared all the great BB Men’s Camp stories over the years.
In his spare time, Leonard enjoyed visiting his alma mater and was a season ticket holder for many years for Oregon Duck football games, where he enjoyed tailgating with family and friends. Leonard owned a beach house at Cannon Beach, a spot he frequently visited.
Leonard was laid to rest near his parents following a private ceremony April 12, 2021, at Neveh Zedek cemetery. A public memorial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to B’nai B’rith Men’s Camp Association in Leonard’s name.
