Through the years, Irvin and Gily enjoyed vacationing on many of the islands in the Caribbean and Central America, especially Panamá. Irvin loved sailing and was regarded as an avid cook. He had a love for animals and a passion for sports. Most notably, Irvin was a family man and cherished time spent with his family.
To cherish his memory, Irvin leaves his wife: Gily Lichty; a son: Sean Lichty; two grandchildren: Isabella and Camden Lichty; a brother: Chris Lichty husband of Dana; a sister: Lynn Evans; and two nephews: Joseph Lichty husband of Melissa and Stephen Lichty.

Condolances to the Lichty family. We were classmates at St. Anne’s, and LCHS. Teamates on the track team, and good friends. We lost contact after high school, but knowing him as I did, I’m sure he led a great life. A kind, and gentle soul, for sure. RIP, Irv. Phil McCaskey
